Yea...I first bought RTR's, which I really didn't mind. However, I saw and HATED the waste of replacing half the parts with better (actually more like proper) ones, and being left over with a bunch of parts (junk, really).
Now, I just build the truck with the best parts from the get go. Even certain parts that I see myself replacing in the future I'll just buy up front (like on my CRT.5, I just started out buying the CF center diff top plate and CF front plate and aluminum drag link and stuff).
The only exception to this rule, in my opinion, is motor systems. I really think its a stupid thing for someone who's buying their first RC to get a thousand watt brushless setup and have trouble keeping the truck on all 4's for more than 2 seconds. I slowly got myself trained to the power, and now I can drive just about anything without freaking out.
I started with a T-Maxx 2.5 and thought that was "really fast" and now I'm running 3S FlightPower's on a 1930 in my CRT .5 and I see it as powerful, but nothing scary...
I can't wait to run true HV hehehe...
