Can't comment to much on walking away from buggies, but it doesn't seem like the walk back would be to long. If you ain't driving it, get rid of it.

Asheck!? where have you been?? seems like i haven't heard anything from you in 6+ months. Glad you're still around!
you doin' OK?
yeah...i remember that conversation. i think that was right at the tail end of me running assamp packs.
geez...what a mistake that was.
you're right though...i was against the revo until i saw what packs DID fit. I can be really hardheaded sometimes.
I started buying hyperion packs and DrFizz got an e-revo that he really liked and i thought i needed to atleast try it so i got one used. the rest is history. i've bought 10 hyperion packs and 3 revos and i'm unloading everything else. kinda tired of stuff collecting dust.
but dude...this truck is the shit...i jump this thing 70+ feet in my lhs parking lot on a quarterpipe and it lands great and i can do that pack after pack after pack. 3 days a week after the store closes i'm there doing jump clinics. we've gotten quite a crowd there.
anyway, shoot me a pm sometime and catch me up on what you're up to.

I know in Connecticut racing is fairly big, but the rest of New England not so much which is disapointing seeing as I used to race and miss competing on a weekly basis w/the same group of guys.
Back to your original question....if you have lost the taste for it ditch it. Buggies are a dime a dozen and can be had cheap enough if you get the itch again. I actually converted my mbx-5 buggy to an on-road car due to the fact it was collecting dust

yeah, you're right about them being a dime a dozen. i think i'm gonna sell it rtr with all my parts. it's in awsome shape...maybe someone will buy it as a Christmas present for someone.

It was the same for me when it was time to quit playing football, racing motocross, and tournament paintball. I typically spent one more year than I really wanted to in each. However I do not regret it.
I am at the point now where I am considering giving up competitive rc crawling. It has had my full attention for 3 solid years. I think I really wanna get back into bashing a bit more. But not sure about giving up crawling completely.
That probably doesnt help, huh??  |
no, it does help...listening to your gut instinct is usually the best thing to do, i just needed some second opinions.
