I consider RC off road cars cars to be something like real rally cars in terms of maintenance. If you are going to use them properly, you are going to crash them, and you will need spare parts. Having spare parts easily available is crucial in my opinion.
Altough maybe not that important with a "slow" drift car driving on parking lots and stuff.
I was driving nitro powered off-road cars, doing jumps and everything.
Fixing those cars have to be a part of the hobby, which is some of the reason I got tired of it.
I could consider an electric drift car though, with a GT86 body. A kit without any electronics would be the best choice for me.
