[QUOTE=Biodragen]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.

I dont have the deep pockets and thats one of the reasons im going to the best built truck out there. Having something thats built like a tank is main priority for me now. Ive seen people run mugen buggies with the same cva's for 2 years without problems and plastic seems to hold up very well. From the wing on my revo to the uprights on the mayhems, poeple use mugen when the need something better.
I had my ST from day 1 when they were first released and really loved it but the times changed, ive changed(driving), and it's time for me to change vehicles. The class really blew up over the last year with all the new trucks and competition. Altho i feel i got it hooking up pretty good, the attention and money it needed to get it there was crazy. I could of just bought a crt or lsp with all the fixing then. I still feel the MST still is not the most dependable after all ive done. I just want to race and have fun doing so which is hard when your always having to fix or tweek something. Live and learn.
For newcomers to the class, these are great times to get in without selling the house to get in. For me, after two and a half years racing, I finally know what I want and where to get it.
