RE: Kits
LOL! What do you do when your boat loses battery power or runs out of fuel?? Swim??? I always wondered about that!!! Never wanted a boat myself...
Kyosho makes some pretty good stuff. 777, inferno, mini inferno, Giga C, the micro's... all are good. Don't discount them because of one bad experience!
'Course my favorite kit is the Thunder Tiger EB4 S3. DAMN nice 1/8th scale buggy!
