What I do if planning a project car

You can only pick 2
Even tho it's from chrisfix with 1:1 cars. It can also do well with RC cars and trucks.
@luke66 might need this advice.

Reliable and Fast for me. Know it won't be cheap going in.

Ideally
Nothing is cheap anymore so this triangle ain't that relevant today.
I know it says only pick 2 but I have to pick all 3.

Yeah, cheap is relative. Depends on if the project is a daily basher or a 1/8 nitro bug.

The triangle still has relevance though to me as one tool in the thought process of initially brain-storming a project. But you're correct on nothing being cheap anymore. Time was when I kept a spreadsheet on expenses. Not anymore. I don't want to know.

ya know, 3000GT are pretty fast, but I'll pick cheap and reliable.

Same here.

Big block monte carlo. It's all three. Just depends on the day.

I understand budget builds. After you've spent your first grand you take a moment to assess what else you might need. The RC snowball effect will have its way in the end.

As an automotive technician, I frequently use the same triangle. If somebody is in a hurry, it won't be cheap. If your in a hurry and broke, it won't last long.
