Default RE: official smartech buggy thread

Hi all!! This is my first post so please bear with me!! I'm considering buying a speedy tiger in kit form from ebay [link]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-self-build-unbuilt-nitro-radio-controlled-buggy-kit_W0QQitemZ330184838231QQihZ014QQcategoryZ19168Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem[/link]
I'm on a tight budget but would really like to move up from electric to nitro, I have been using electric for 20years off and on and have always wanted a nitro since they came onto the market however the price has always been an issue. So recently scanning ebay I came across the speedy tiger and after a fair amount of reading on this car I can't make my mind up?!? They are cheap on one hand but have poor quality parts (which for the money I guess is to be expected) they break for some and work well without much trouble for others?! My other reason for considering the speedy is that for the money I can't seem to see a better kit?! I'd much rather go kit form as I'm fairly methodical and I wan't to learn the car inside and out rather than buying a rtr. Also it seems that the speedy is fairly compatible with a range of parts/upgrades(though please correct me if I'm wrong) If anyone would be kind enough to help I would be extremely greatful Thanks in advance!!!
