Default I geuss it is time, Hello.....a lot of pics inside

About 2 months ago we bought a 2010 asw vector gokart/minibuggy and since my kids are only two and four i had to do the driving. We got so hooked on it we bought two 2009 asw carbides. Its so exciting and CHEAP. The kids LOVE it.

Its been a blast and its been hell though. Something is always broken or just not right, but parts are CHEAP and they are super easy to work on. Im totally addicted at this point.

First issues and possibly still an issue:

Our baby's, well our little toys.

Well. Speaking form experience, it is cheaper than bikes or cars or even RC toys.

this hobby is as cheap or as expensive as you want to make it really

but comparatively it is definitely cheaper if you want it to be

compared to my car where a set of rods are 7-800
pistons 4-500
head work 200+
suspension800-1200
it can add up very quickly compared to here in buggy land

This hobby is crazy cheap compared to the hobbies i had before i had kids.

I owned alot of sportbikes, 2001 R6, 2005 R6, 2001 R1, 2008 R1, Ducati Monster 750 and a 1998 HD soft tail springer.

These bikes used run from $4000-$10,000.
And if you could do even ONE mod for under $400 i would cknsider that very lucky.

LOL. Wow...I just wasn't really comparing this to "show" or sport cars...but RC! I knew RC stuff was pricy, but really? Is it THAT much money? ^_^
