Damn, wholesale price calculations are confusing!! What is the mathmatical order of operations thing again?

How far BO are the MOOgen bod's? If it's not too long I'd like to make one pick-up trip. If it's too long I will come get the others.

$375 + new motor + $500 in spare parts= POS IMO.

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

That's the thing with the Revo. It is indeed a reasonable buy in price. That's how they get you. It's a money pit after that.

Not to mention the fact that they break so easily in the hands of a beginner-thus the spare parts. Also, because they break so easily you spend more time wrenching than racing and waste a lot of money in gas and entry fees just getting to the track.

IMO the Revo is a terrible beginner vehicle. Get a buggy and go to the track or get a Savage and go bash.
