I'm a firm believer in, the bigger it is, the more of a pain in the butt they are.
I have two 1/5 scale Baja 5b that are a pain to load.
My Xmaxx isn't terrible.

When it comes to rc, I prefer small scales. Never had any interest in anything over 1/8 scale.

I prefer micros myself but must admit, my SCX6 is a lot of fun. But it's big and awkward to work on, and not easy to transport.

I love my big bashers out on the sand dunes but a lot of work packing them from my shop to my truck.

Also that big beautiful truck is expensive to fix. It pains me to see what they just did to it.
Thunder rc has the grave digger and he drives the crap out of it, he took a big tumble (wumble) and broke an axle or something, a 1/8, 1/10, or anything smaller probably would have easily survived, the weight of these big machines causes damage.
I can't wait to get my 30DNT…..

The FG and baja take a lot more time (for me) to work on but I love their large scale handling and sound

Breaking parts is sadly part of the heavy "large scale handling", so unless you have an all plastic X-maxx it'll cost a bit. Or drive gently like me. Never broke anything due to bad driving. Flip a real car and I'm quite sure something could break

I think at that point you should just get an ATV. I ran 1/8 nitro on road cars and a T-Maxx for yrs. I love the sound of a nitro setup.

Regular RC's get expensive to fix. I don't wanna know what damage Talbot is going to cause and the price
He's got a huge channel, so I'm sure most of his stuff are free. Also, the man knows how to make money, and I'm guessing he's got quite a bit of it, considering he owns a Lambo.

He's probably the only guy i watch. Everyone else is borning and dry.
I find him entertaining, but a lot of guys here find him annoying.

I owned it me for three years , I put a Taylor 50 in it and did nothing but wonder why , breaking stuff isn't as bad as 
ng your back to load it , Everytime something breaks it's a ton -0- money , I finnally got tired of the impractical part of things and finnally sold it , I can say from a ton of experience with this thing , that if you buy one , leave the stock engine in it , now days the stock engine is just right , I was glad to see the move of the brake servo , and the boosted electrical , but unless your a doctors lawyer , be ready for many costs , but don't get me wrong here they are blast , and where ever you go , you end up with a gang of smiles watching it

Severely annoying vote #2
Edit: #3 actually?
Or am I original because I added severely to it

He doesn’t bother me to much if I watch in moderation

You have to hand it to him whether or not some of us like to watch his videos or not, he isn't stupid.
He has turned something that he truly loves and turned it into a high paying business.
Good for him.
