Why do I say the smartech isn't that great? Mainly cause if you need parts you will most likely have to order them online, unless your local hobby shop carries them, I know mine don't. I'd stray away from it, but too be honest, for the price it is tempting.

Oh and don't forget to add
-20 for gas
-25 for ignitor
-10 for batteries
Well they are cheap and the parts are hella cheap. I'll find the link and post it up of the parts cost, I have to get it from my buddy. I was about to buy a Kyosho but its harder finding parts for those then the SmarTech one's. On the SmarTech car it has 2 aluminum decks and aluminum shock towers, something I couldnt find in other entry level cars. My buddy broke the rear lower control arm when he flipped it over like 7 times and it cost like $2 for another one(2 pack). There are 3 of us that are getting them so we will order parts together so we dont get raped on the shipping too bad. ---- might be a better idea for all of us to go in on another car just for parts.

well 2 bucks for the arm is pretty cheap, I'm more of a convenience type person, I don't wanna sit around all day waiting for my parts to come in.

You also got a point with the aluminum stuff. I have an HPI Super Nitro that I decked out with a bunch of aluminum parts and you don't even wanna know how much I spent on it, wanna buy it?

I just gotta put it back together.
Aluminum upper deck, a-arms, upper arms, hubs, knuckles, fucken almost every part I could change to anodized purple I did, damn it cost a lot.
