...to race their Z against? I was going to get one a while back but something came up and I had to use the money for something else but now I am looking into it again (thanks to this forum ) and I was wondering if it's really worth it if you don't have anyone to bash with or race with. I really want one but I just don't want to get bored with it because of that reason.
I can't see any of my friends wanting to drop $150ish (in total with batteries and charges and whatnot) but who knows. Maybe if I got one they would change their minds.
So does anyone here just simply mess around with their Z's by themselves?
They are a lot of fun by themselves. Basically a tinkerer's delight or a micro engineer's challenge. Modeling for the bodies, a little electrical for the ESC and motor, a little GT team strategy and tuning for top handling/speed.
Get one and then a bud will follow. The fun factor increases exponentially with the number of cars!!

I also have a brother who recently moved back home and he's actually very into cars and stuff...maybe I could get him to get one of I got one so we could mess around. Or maybe I can talk him into getting an Overland and me a regular one because I really want them both.
He is really into F1 in real life though so I bet he would want that...but I am sure F1's aren't as fun unless you have a couple of people to race with or at least another person with an F1. Maybe I'm wrong? And bashing with an F1 seems dangerous.
A co-worker an I each bought an F1 15 months ago. Now there's 4 of us, and between us there's 5 F1s, 1 non-F1 Z, 3 Mini-Xs, 2 Kawadas, An ABC DTM X4, and even an Epoch.
i race alone.......all my friends said theyve grown up......but yea the most fun is working on it plus trial and error alone is fun to me...plus being 22 still living at home looks real cool out in the drive way when people drive by..... ..theyre fun get one for that reason alone.....and take it slow..or youll be broke

i could spend all day running my racer and overland around by myself. my son is only 3, not ready for them yet. i spend a lot of time tinkering with things like light sets, custom parts etc. i recently bought my much younger brother a viper to bash around with. i only get to hang out with him about two weekends a month though.
the only reason i bought mine was to race around by myself. These things are AWSOME! Everyone out here where i live is pretty poor so they wouldnt dream of buying one. After a while though, one of my friends, known on here as pro420, bought one. Now theres a lot more people out here that are looking in to it!
