Hello all. Just purchased a Sledge because my brother bought a Max for himself and his son. Then my cousin bought a Hoss. So of course I had to buy something rather than watch them have all the fun.
We're older folks so maybe starting at the higher end of the RC market (from a price standpoint) is not a major financial hit. Just maybe not that smart.
There's a great RC shop right around the corner with all/any parts we would need with lots of knowledgeable folks.
A few questions though.
I have the wood, tools, skills to build a decent ramp. Already did all the research there. But wondering if it will get use after the initial excitement of the new hobby wears off?
We all live in suburbia and haven't yet searched for good place to run our cars yet. I'm sure there are spots but, with the cost of light/portable ramps, it just makes more sense to build one than to spend as much as i did on the car for a ramp. Will try to keep the weight down and have a place to store it at my house but the idea of lugging around a big ramp just seems like something we will quickly get tired of.
Are you guys still using your ramp/cars as much after the initial excitement wore off?
For those that also live in suburbia and have to take your cars somewhere to really drive/bash them, do you still do it?
Any other advice/input for a few older/new to RC folks just looking to bash and enjoy their new cars?
Thanks to all.
