Reasonable buy-in price for a new guy who's not going hardcore into racing....
Take the stock Revo, add a decent steering servo ($90) put some new or used racing tires on it ($40-85), upgrade the radio if desired ($90 for a used JR XS3 type with Rx) and you could be having a lot of fun racing for ($375+90+60+90) $615. Sure, you wouldn't be setting the world on fire with that setup, but it would be a start.
I'm not sure how I could put $500 in spare parts in the pit box? Heck, for $375 I could have a spare Revo in the pit.
The alternative for a new guy is what? Buy a truggy kit for $500 and add a $500 racing engine and pipe and go get his butt kicked because he's new to racing? That's no fun for my $1000!!!!
IMO
