It is called "crap on a Stick", That is a spouse term. I was first to get an e-savage, Showed it to my buddy and he went out and bought a nitro truck. it was a redcat volcano or something to that effect. So I bought a couple planes. he bought a Harley. now there is where it should have stopped because I can't afford a Harley. anyway, He was over here and seen a mag of mine and went out and bought the duratrax warhead. nice for racing but he is not a racer just a basher. So now he has one uped me on the rc front. because he has a bigger truck, so I bought a Savage 4.6, I got him now. my point I had to make with that entire rant was, if I bought a piece of crap on a stick, my buddy will buy a bigger piece of crap on a stick. because the 5.9 is a bigger engine and the thing has a 3Sp. and a few other upgrades, it is new so therefore it is a better piece of "crap on a stick"
pssst. Don't tell my wife.
