I guess you knew how to setup diffs on your first buggy livthemoment how to shim them perfect for a perfect mesh or how a clutch should feel to the spur gear, or which diff oils to run on your track, or how to check proper braking and throttle lingage setup, also the proper spacing on your clutch bell to the flywheel or the proper direction of the clutch shoes (over the top to the right). Also if you buy any RTR go ahead and replace the steering servo exept on the LOSI LST 2. All I was saying is we all had to start somewhere and hopefully have learned alot since getting in the hobby (exept livthemoment ) and I call these tricks that a newbe might not know and this is just a few of them. Tower Hobbies doesnt even carry Kyosho anymore so that makes part even harder to get parts for them . At least it does around here. I say read alot about which buggies your interested in talk to folks about them also check and see what your hobby shop carries, then get what you feel best about. The Jammin is easy to get parts for, people are sell the parts on E-bay left and right. Right now on E-bay there are 286 hits for the Jammin and 113 for Kyosho sp2. Stuff sometimes breaks it happens (hasn't happened to my Jammin yet but I'm sure it will sometime) which buggy would you want then. I like the Jammin you like the Kyosho someone else likes something else thats the fun of the hobby. Just my 4 cents worth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
short answer: yep!
all you have to do is read a book. Like ulitmate nitro guide. I read websites before buying my 1st electric... and guess what.. I have never had a problem. Bought a quality buggy BK2.
So, i read a book and looked on a few websites then built my 1st nitro... And guess what... I have never had a problem. Sure i break an arm or turnbuckle, but those darn pipes never seem to move out of the way.
It is simply AMAZING.. the advice and the proper set up techniques you find if you actually read, or If you do not assume that a 30,000 rpm engine is a toy from radio(insert expletive).
If you take the time and build it yourself, you have the ability to know what to fix and realize you may not understand something, so you then know to ask for help. Help from whereever... a book, forum, or LHS.
I really think you provided non-reasoned 0.00 cents points.
