Dude, happytime hobby (the people who bring you the Swift) is RIGHT there in your town! Parts are NOT an issue for the swift. Like I said, go to their site, check out the thread for the swift... the support is out of this world. I have talked to Roger from the team many times and he is the kindest person I think I have ever talked to... takes his time talking with me and helping out, doesn't rush at all, and is very patient. He even helped me tune the car long distance over the phone! There are lots of options out there... I was very iffy about buying one and I really am glad I did now. The support is unbeleiveable and parts are very interchangable with other buggies if something does break and even at that, you are in San Diego! I had a problem with a CVJ pin and roger immediately sent me new pins and I had them in my hand 2 business days later. No charge, I didn't even ask... he jsut did it and wrote a little note in the pack with what to do to ensure I put everything back together with out having to worry about it ever again.
The hot bodies lightening is really nice as well from what I hear, the OFNA line has a lot to offer, Kyosho, Mugen... depending on what you want to spend, you can kind of iron your options out... but without breaking the bank and getting definitely the best bang for the buck, the Swift seems to be about the best for now.
