During this process, I realize that you have to be truly committed to racing. If not, you are wasting your time and money. These kits and all of the parts that go along with them are pretty expensive.
No matter how you structure your car setup you are looking at spending at least $1,000 minimum on a car. The only way to come out a little cheaper is to use all used parts. If you go that route there’s no telling how much life you’ll get out of the car.
For me there’s no turning back now, I’m going to run/race this car before summer is over. There are just some things I’ll have to figure out along the way. The sucky part is that I don’t have any spare parts if something goes wrong. I’m into this car for about $1,500 which is more than my 1/5 Gas Losi 5ive T.
