1/8 Buggy Rebuild: 2 Years of Hard Racing

[@RcAcct]

Good video. I think quiet a bit about what makes the most sense when it comes to this. 1. Replace worn parts and buy spares of common wear / break items. 2. Buy new kits at the end of the year and keep your old ones with you at all times, for a full set of spares. 3. Have a practice buggy and a race buggy, this way the race buggy has much less wear in a season + you will always have a backup buggy / parts, if needed. 4. Sell old sliders at the end of the year and buy new kits + spares.

It’s a tough call! My suggestion is to do a quick inventory of what you need to replace and compare the cost of new kits vs. rebuilding. In most cases it make sense to rebuild.

Alternatively, if the cost to rebuild is similar to a new kit, I would consider getting the new kit and giving (or selling cheap) your old slider to a young racer at your local track. If you have kids, save the old slider for them to drive! Lots of options… as far as practice buggies go, I have done this before and IMO not needed for e buggy. Nitro buggy is nice to have a practice car if you race often. It also allows you to practice a lot the day before a race day and not have to worry about rebuilding over night. 😉

I can’t wait. I’m driving into work right now once I get on my break I’ll watch it.
