If its going through parts like that.. id say sell it. I started to get one in the past but changed my mind. And yes its alot of engine for any car, but im going for maximum power since I will be drag racing it. I still might get rid of it because I want a 1/8th mugen or kyosho onroad. Decided to hook it up like it is and see what it can do on the drag strip. Will try to race this weekend.
