  1. Bashing
...if you live near Hollywood, the Valley, or Ventura county. I just don't have the time to get them running for my kids right now. Thank you.
 
I agree completely. I just need some basic things done though and can't make the time now to get all three running smoothly and replace a few simple parts. Have a great day Jacks9930!!!
 
Try Craig's list..you might find someone, or of course your LHS. It might not hurt to check with folks on here if you get an estimate....just to ensure you are not being taken for a ride. Your call. I cringe when I hear people paying for this stuff, but I understand you want to run. What exactly is wrong with them?

Keep in mind these machines require constant maintenance....so there is a very good chance you pay someone, drive it, and something else immediately needs to be fixed.

buy electrics.

This is the first thing I see when someone has the littlest problem with nitro. "Buy electric" ugh........
Dont get me wrong I have electric as well but nitro is a hobby and electric is only a hobby when you crawl or scale.

The last sentence is completly false... any electric or nitro is a hobby, unless your saying bashing or racing scts or mts or st trucks is something else? Enlighten me friend I am curious
 
Ok let me correct myself.
If you just want plug and play just to do jumps and aroud the house then its not much of a hobby.
If your racing or crawling or in to the realism of rigs then yes its a hobby.

IMO if you have a nitro to bash and around the house type deal then its a hobby because of the fact thay you actually have to put forth effort to make thay engine purr........

did this come out right?
 
Lol not at all, if you spend money on a hobby grade RC, your in the hobby.. A young child who got.an RC.from his parents and is only knowelaged to plug and play is still in the hobby..
 
Lol meh different views I guess.
I personally like tinkering with them. It would suck not having time for them
 
Here's an idea: Before you agree to pay someone to fix all three rigs, have this person just fix one and see how it goes. If you're satisfied with his/her work than have him/her earn the second and third job so to speak. Just a thought so you don't get hustled or have this person ruin all three rigs at once.
 
I agree with the above post, I can't imagine anything more upsetting than sending them out broken and get.them back broken. You never know someone could part your rig out and replace it with their broken parts and send it back and straight rob you...
