Default help

I'm not sure if you have noticed but im back and forth alot. One minute i want one thing and the next minute i want something else. I do still want the E-Firestorm but I also would like a nitro. i found this buggy. is it any good? http://www.rcwholesales.com/RC-Nitro...e-p-16199.html

if i get a nitro, i want some facts about nitro. How often will i need to go buy nitro? (i drive ALOT. my stepdad wasnt home one day and said i could drive his car; electric; and every 30 mins. when the car was done charging, i was outside driving it. i went outside to drive it ATLEAST 10 or 15 times)

What else will i need to buy if i get this buggy?

How often will i be sitting in my garage fixing something?

Also, so you can get an idea about the amount of money i get (to use for fuel) every week i get 10$ (not often as i usually dont do my chores ) and every other week i get 20$ for mowing my gramps yard

thanks for all the help

thats a redcat buggy, I had one and sold it 3 months later, the vertex motor isnt good, has tons of trouble with it, redcat makes good upper scale products but save your money and buy the e firestorm

$30 lasts me about a week, but I have a massive ineffiecint engine. Go with a traxxas if you are worried about the cost of fuel. I think of mine as being like a honda truck; economical, reliable, well built, good preformance. Then there is my losi, I think of it as being more like a Mack truck, burns way more fuel than it needs to, reliable but because of the application there is always something that needs fixing and the raw size and power is amazing. Now what one I drive more? When I look on my shelf and see a "mack" and "honda" the choice is obvious.
