I've started a new hobby, I think.
​
I recently bought an LDRC 18499(pics) for my oldest son (9y), and after a few days I started to get excited playing with him, I ended up buying another RC of the same model so we could play together.
In the meantime, I thought my car deserved a bit more speed, so I bought and installed a 370 45T motor. However, a few seconds after using it, I realized that the All-in-one ESC couldn't handle the new motor, and I think I "fried" the ESC because the controller stopped responding normally, started having some lag, and the range became shorter. To solve this, I've now bought a Hobbywing 1060 ESC and a HotRC controller. I also bought new 1" 54mm tires, red LEDs to install in the rear, and oil shocks. I'm expecting to receive the order from Ali soon. And as if that wasn't enough, now I want to buy the axles, links, skid plate, and metal gearbox from the TXR4M platform to install in the car.
My question is... am I going crazy here?
For the amount I've already spent on this toy, I know I could have bought something better, RTR. But the truth is, I love the frame of this car, and isn't the customization and improvements to the car the essence of this hobby?
