[QUOTE="08mojo, post: 15528000, member: 132915"] With just about any hobby you can make it a money pit really fast. Enjoy the rc cars for what they are: toys. I have had an absolute blast with the slash 4x4 you are picking up from me this weekend. Get you a 3c lipo battery and let it rip! Get at least a 5000mAh battery and it will last 15+ minutes on a single charge. I'm amazed how strong that truck is, especially compared to my rc cars of the past. My old losi would break if you looked at it wrong. I was constantly replacing parts on the losi. I only broke 3 parts on the slash: stock axles (they were absolute shit), a rear bearing and a front control arm. The bearing was due to wear/use and the control arm was because I stffed the truck into a curb. The slash can take a serious bashing. Don't be too scared to come ride with me someday pedal or motor powered. We all have a great time, all just for fun and no competition/pressure. For those of you arguing about orange vs red vs whatever, there was a time when orange was an absolute joke. It is stupidly impressive how much they have evolved that brand. 15 years ago, ktm was an expensive, unreliable bike that had very little support in the US. Now, they are the highest quality bike you can buy off a showroom floor. But, they should be because they are priced way higher than the Japanese brands. I have an 03 CR 125, 03 CR 250, 07 crf150 and 12 CRF 450. I'm a bit biased towards the red machines because the parts are cheaper than other brands and I have always had dead nuts reliability out of the red machines. [/QUOTE]
