Well I love to tinker on engines and such but I'm not dead set on nitro or electric. I like to be able to change to bigger engines and see where I can create hp. But my lhs is about 50 miles from me and they are extremely high. We don't have any race groups here or tracks so I'm basically limited to racing with friends and such. But I do have access to parking lots and such. But i'm starting to think the monster offroad trucks and buggies are my way to go, probably more fun. With that said, should I stay away from the real competitive brands like team associated, etc? Keep the opinions coming guys. I want something that I can keep modding with engines, suspension, etc.Also, still think 1/10th would be better than 1/8? Also, what about RTR versus a kit? Thanks guys. Can't you buy nitro fuel online also? Hope you guys can answer all of my questions.
