Lover of reproducible results
I have a couple of hobbies, and whenever trying to decide about a purchase, I’m reminded of the adage that when you cough up the extra cash for a premium product, you only feel the pain once. Take the cheaper path, and (depending on your knowledge, product line, manufacturer) you’re likely to feel the pain of purchase again. And again.
Like with my v2 K8S frame. I’m about to feel the pain for a third time. I’ve made a lot of cattywampus landings, but two of them have bent stock frames. (Ok, to be fair, the first was a collision). First time, I replaced stock. Do I really cough up the bucks for a (insert brand) aftermarket frame? What are the considerations? I remember reading someplace that they can be of varying gauge and might need different screws to mount to the bulkheads and other deck components.
On the plus side, these dirt cheapo tires off of Amazon absolutely slay on my (trimmed) 8S modified Mojave! Gratuitous pic for clickbait. Check em out if you roll that truck, it’s still my favorite RC and it just got even more favorited:
Rodalind 4Pcs 150mm Wheel Rim and Tires for 1/8 Monster Truck Racing RC Car Accessories https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YW8R668/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_z2n8FbK44KN94?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Happy New Year to you all!
