Those reasons for being in this hobby and the way those folks have defined the fulfilment of their hobby needs are great...and naturally those aspects of the hobby require a specific set of RC knowledge and skills.
I have a couple of RTR "turds" that I bash the snot out of and don't really even clean or maintain them. It is fun. However, all of my $2K-$3K+ RCs (I currently have about five) are pretty much a continuous work in progress. For me the hobby is about trying to build the best RC I can...finding the best mixture of components for the best (as I have defined it) performance. Sure I run them...but you won't see them taking the big jumps at the track. The best part of the hobby for me is the building process...in particular building these types of custom trucks. I only wish I could airbrush and paint my own shells

Please sign me...I would like to buy one of these chassis. How do I get one?
