Is it Normal to Run your 1/5th scale every single day? Or am I just having beginners Love for my Rovan?
Last month I had surgery and had always had Big 4 wheel drive projects going on in my shop. The big 4X4 trucks were cool but everything about them was heavy. For instance I would pull a motor or a transfer case and we are talking several hundred pounds. Plus The big cars always took up so much space.

Since My surgery I have reinvented myself once again by taking up the 1/5th scale hobby.

Seems like way too much fun. I feel like I should be charged for all of the fun I have been having with my 1/5th scale Rovan Buggy.
Only had it for about a week now and have had a blast with it, Already pulled the head just to look the piston over and have got it back together and seems to run a little better now.

Seems I am either out running this thing or tweaking on it or inside reading about them or looking at all of the cool parts on Rovans website.

Having a blast with this thing.
In only a week I have seriously already gotten my moneys worth out of this thing.

Most recently I have become mezmororized in seeing my little 5B Launching from a standstill on new concrete and watching it lay down rubber and leave burnout marks. That to me is Incredible.
I've got video just not sure how to post it up here.

I was the same way for a while after I got my 5ive-T, don't recall how long it lasted. I've been racing every Sunday when weather permits for the last two years and it has been much more satisfying, I no longer feel the need to run it everyday. I still spend countless hours looking for ways to make it stronger, faster, and easier to maintain.
