Not really the hobby. Some people just get in over their heads and can't deal with it. They see 65 MPH on the box think its like a cheap TYCO, buy it not knowing the maintenance, upkeep, and fine tuning that comes with it. Then they sell it once it stops working right. My brother was going to buy a nitro to race me till I showed him the work it is setting it up, and working on the engine. And he decided that it wasn't a good idea seeing he can't even assemble my niece and nephews toys on xmas, and has to call me to do it.

I got my Savage X was like that. The guy put he drove it for less than 5 tanks (5th tank was still in it when I got it... rusted part of the engine...) and it kept flipping on him(body he sent it with almost had a hole worn through it). Engine was toasted from him running it too lean(honestly I have no idea how he started the engine it was so lean), and not bothering to break it in. I do believe it only was ran though the 5 tanks seeing the bumper had 3-4 almost non visible scratches on it (hell I paid $200 for it with shipping, it came with some RPM parts and a $50 futaba servo ).

BTW my MT1.9 hasn't been run in like 4 months . Really sucked the last warm month by me it poured literally EVERY day I had time to drive it. Now winters here, and its sidelined till it gets warm out again. I really wanna drive it but I don't want to risk damaging the engine with the cold air.(I know richen it but like I said don't wanna risk it)
