that's what makes this small forum so great. the moderators on this site aren't strict at all. i'm now slowly leaning away from rcuniverse and towards rcm.
ok, being on topic: i am only 16 and i have a bl savage, t-maxx 2.5, rustler vxl, and a KM baja that needs a new diff. i pay for almost all of my stuff. i made $400-500 mowing lawns last year. so far this year, i've made only $50, but i am looking for a job. you should just do what i did. take a 5-6 month break and once you have some money saved up, start a project. i did that and my project was my bl savage. it ran its maiden voyage today and sure, there are still some things that need to be worked out, but the satisfaction of seeing a nitro truck being run for the first time as electric is amazing. also, try using budget parts.
i spent $30 for my savage's esc and $30 for a used KB motor ($55 new). you don't HAVE to get a cc-neu setup.
the MMM combo costs $260
my setup cost me $60.
you have 2 years to get a car, just set aside half of your money for that car and use the rest for w/e you want.
