Okay guys I have noticed that there are many of you who jump on the new stuff on the block.
In turn others jump in on the trend.
Then I see a short time later that the stuff is up for sale.
Then next thing things get flooded for sale like it was when it was new on the block.
This applies to Engines, Trucks and cars.
I can understand keeping up with some of this but to me it is pissing away lots of money unless you have deep pockets.
Like the Hellfire---it was hot to start off good reports and then---it wound down.
Now I see alot of SP2's for sale.
What is next?
The Kyoshso, and Mugen truggies being dumped to the new losi truggy?
Here is what I am looking at.
I was considering the Kyosho truggy and watched them run. I did read up on them and look at them closley.
Now I did the same for the Mugen truggy.
Now all of a sudden I see ppl dumping what they have for the Mugen.
Lots of praise and patts on the back for it.
I have planned on going with the Mugen soley because of watching them drive and the reading up on them.
The Kyosho did not pan out like the Mugen did. Replacment part costs was another I had in this consideration along with durability and ease of getting parts.
With what I know now in the RC stuff (which has changed from 12 years ago)
I would have done things differently and not dump what I did into my MST.
So over all guys....
WTF gives with this???
It is not the hardware that makes the driver----it is the driver that makes the hardware. I can stand by this with my own experiences.
I don't bust up my truggy like I use to do---WHY?? I learned to drive it and not with the hammer down all the time.
If you can't drive for Turds, then a more popular and more expensive car or truck is not going to make you drive any better.
I know it were myself and I had just started. It would make me feel like I use crap when at the time that was THE stuff to have. PPl start to think they have inferior goods when in fact they have pretty good stuff. Better than RTR stuff or start up equipment.
I dunno but I see that the more popular dudes set the trend on what to buy.
Especially if you are sponsored which I can understand. If you are not that thrilled with what you get sponsored---don't run it or advertise it.
I dunno but this is my observation here.
