Help me guys, I am being sucked back to the darkside!

Ok, here's my deal. I got into RC's because 1:1's were to exspensive. Then I found out RC's were too expensive. So I scaled back. Now I just have a Revo. Now I am gonna get a buggy regardless BUT! Right now I have some dough, not to much just enough for a Sirio, Thunder Tiger S3 and some baggin servos, pipe, tires, you know......OR I could buy the best coil over adjustable JIC shocks and springs. I am torn, now I bought one of the rice rockets and I plan to mod it clean stlye. It is a Nissan Spec V if that means anything to you (Ok it's a Sentra on ROIDS). I am pretty torn because I am think shoot, I have like 2-3 month before we can even THINK about racing again so do I buy my 1:1 hop up or get the buggy now?

Two questions:
1) When does the racing season start?
2) Will you have the greenbacks by then to get the buggy you want if you get your 1:1 schtuff?

If the answer to #2 is Yes, get the bouncers for your 1:1 ride, then post some pics of it !!!

One's gotta think that the $250 ticket you receive, for testing those coil overs with some high speed cornering, just wont be good.... lol

Nismo Sentra?

IMO, Install a Bluebird SR20DE in your Sentra.

Nah if I was gonna engine swap it would be a SR20DET redtop. The 2.5 has more base HP and is anewer engine with mods coming out all the time. I like the torque.

1:1s are $$$$, especially if its really ur daily driver. a 14sec focus street car is nice and all but its become too much. besides fun factor and a local track now, did r/c b/c its fun and i needed fun, not work.

The bluebird 20 is kinda like the CA18 I think. I like the SR20DET black top S13, It will be going in my 240sx in the next 1-3 years.
