I’ve been trying to find a nitro and there all out of stock. I’ve been looking at kysho road nitro rc cars like the gt4 Renault and the camaro and there all out of stock. Losi barely carries any nitro rc anymore, Hpi no longer makes a road car and I can’t find any of their nitro rc cars for sale, any other company is all out of stock except for traxxas(I will never buy traxxas nitro rc) my hobby store where I live carries nothing nitro they don’t even sell fuel or glow plug igniters or anything that has to do with nitro it’s all electric. As a kid I remember going to hobby stores with my one grandfather and seeing nitro rc stuff everywhere and now it’s all gone. All the hobby stores near me shut down except for hobby town. I feel nitro is dead and it sucks. I don’t find the same enjoyment ripping my vorteks around as I did my old t maxx classic.
Is it a good idea to buy used nitro road cars? It’s hard to know how the previous owner took care of it so it feels sketchy. They could have not broken in the motor right(if at all) or ran it way to lean and it could have a crap ton of problems. But maybe I could go that route. As long as the motor isn’t trashed I can fix anything else that’s wrong with it. Maybe I should just go 1/6 scale electric and get a kraton or red cat shredder or something. I can’t find any nitro rc I like and the ones I do are either out of stock or just simply don’t exist anymore. I love cars I’m a gear head and a nitro rc car is a cheaper alternative to getting a real project car since a real project car is out of my budget. Sadly it seems like I’m not gonna be able to get one.
