Ive been into 5th scales( both On & Off-road ) for about 12yrs now.At the time of my first purchase of an on-road 5th scaler( FG Porsche), no one in my area even saw one before. Not to mention, when I took it to my LHS, the crowd I drew was out of this world.People followed me into the store just to see what da hell it was. But to make a long story short, at the time I owned quite a few nitros both on & off-road. Once I really got into running the car and saw how much or should I say how less of a headache it was dealing with them. I sold all of my nitros and never looked back. Now not to bash the nitro guys, but the only thing I presently own that run on nitro is my helis !
So Delche , by all means, break that piggy bank and jooooiiiiin the club, lolololol ! ! !
Good Luck on ur first purchase ! ! ! !

BTW- I snuck out and got a roller HPI on-road just to tinker around with. sssssssssshhuussssssssss, dont tell anybody
