I will have about $400 soon to do what ever with and I am having trouble deciding what do do with it. I have a Micro-t (almost stock) and a Revo 3.3 (almost stock) I am torn between buying a new vehicle or possibly upgrading my current vehicles. If I buy a new vehicle I am not sure if I should get another Nitro or and Electric. I love my Revo so nitro would be nice but electric is expensive because you need to buy all the batteries and a charger besides the vehicle.


If I get a nitro it might be a ST like the Firestorm or an Evader or someting along those lines.

If I go Electric, I might go all out and try for a new Emaxx 16.8, but that is really stretching my cash limit.



Thanks!!

Also I will add that I am a basher. I am just learning how to jump and stuff. I have never raced and probably won't.
 
I'd probably throw some of the money at the revo to upgrade arms to RPM, shock shafts to TiNi, servo to hitec 985MG's and a HD servo saver spring. That will eat up about $200 or so and will give you a much more durable and better handling revo.

Then I'd save the rest for spares as you need them for the season. If cash is tight, then having $200 on the side would be a wise thing to have for future needs.
 
i agree with olds.. but on the other hand i have mostly stock rigs and like to have a few extra so opted to get another large scale with my refund. i got a hobby pro/tron gt-40 wich is an on-road fifth scale. its not the best on the market but its mainly for the shelf and just some parking lot racing with my 5b.. plus it was only $500.00!!
