OK, I can see where you're coming from on the spare parts...

As for starting in buggy class...ouch....those hotshots will stomp the snot out of a newb. I'd rather take my lumps in MT with fewer trucks (in most races) until I had my driving improved. Buggy might be more durable than MT, but a newb will need that strength as the better drivers are unavoidably crashing with the rookies because the rookie is in the way.

Plus when the Revo isn't on the track, it can be a lot of fun in the yard or street, where the buggy is better suited for dirt or very short grass, etc..
