    Some people do actually have spending restraint and try to make their hobby make sense.

      Im not gonna get into the budget debate but. I will say this i personally feel xr's being a more ridged chassis and being built from a higher quality material last far longer than a b/g chassis. We have a 17' that has been raced 20-30 races a season in super limited and crate and we have yet to strike a arc on it. The same cannot be said for most bg cars

        Esp with a newbie behind the wheel! lol

        Raced 8 times, wrecked 6 times. A couple technically wasnt his fault, but you gotta pay attention and know who you can race with!

          I'd say that's true, if you keep from bending it. Even the stiffening helps a lot. We have an 03 Masters that we converted to something pretty modern. That includes stiffening the front and back considerably. It had almost no races on it before the conversion (guessing maybe 10), and it was stored inside. We made it over 100 races before the tail section broke at the j bar mount, where they are known to break pretty early. It was amazing how bad the car became, when it happened too.
