If your a total newbie to the hobby. I dont care what it is,your going to break it. Either it be by racing,or while bashing around the yard and that damn tree,mail box post or car jump out in front of you. It is going to get broken somewhere,somehow.
Is the Revo a good/great starter truck for racing? Yes! It is one of few cars out there that you can take out of the box and contend with in a race(granted,depends on who is in the race). And with a few mods,the chances of doing well get better. But your still going to spend less money doing that then going out and getting a kit.
I get puzzled when I see people post(here and at the revo forums) about how easy it was to break their truck. Either bashing or racing. I have yet to have any problems after almost 2 years. So it makes me question what the hell they are doing to it.
And Satoch,everything in this hobby is a money pit. Only difference is,some people can control themselves better then others when it comes to buying parts or upgrades.
When my son is ready to make the move from his electric pede to nitro. It will be a Revo.
