I just thought that because I run a lot of 1/18 brushless it would be nice to have a 1/18, or 1/16 nitro. I gave up on nitro a few years ago and found that brushless fit more into my budget. But like everything I get into, I got bord and got the nitro bug again. This time it was for a buggy. I saw in one of my mags, an advertisement for Exceed and I couldn't believe how cheap they were. I've read a lot of ups and downs, more up than down, about the Exceed brand and I know what I'm getting into with this one. I'm not doing anything crazy with it so I dont need to spend high dollar. Just running around the back yard and woods, some street and parking lots. I think it'll hold up pretty good. But I'm now thinking, that if I like the .16 buggy enough, I might get the .18 truck. Keep everything 1/10. I dont know. Playing it by ear.
