Nitro power

After been playing for weeks finally i really love how this nitro fuel powered 1/8 scale r/c buggy off-roader performed. Not as staggering fast as my 120km/h 1/18 scale touring but this one have huge torque enough to fly over my head when hiting the bumps. Cheaper parts replacement but very oily maintenance work. Few months before the international race/competition i have to sharpen my skills more to keep up with most of the racer. The sounds also really good too. Another good reason for being outside the house all the time. Another unboring activity yet make more new friends too.

Should i sell mini-z or not?


I have some delima, i'm not that rich guy who can get another enthusiastic stuff for hobby nor able to keep it long to maintain it. As you know i have several MINI-Z (miniature size 1:28 scale hobby grade radio control models) which is very fun to drive but very expensive to maintain as the parts very hard to come by and its a rare item to be sell or sold off in our local market. After thinking long term affect i decided to switch my level to a better platform.......i'm going for 1/8 NITRO or Electronic Brushless engine which is easy maintenance cost, more parts availability and fast but require bigger space and huge ebergy consumption. MINI-Z is fun especially being outdoors but it too much addictive! Once you're addicted the parts upgrade was too much of a cost vs the bigger scale models. Should i sell or should not....errmmmmmm...
