why are all r/c kits ready to run now

Integra, I hope you didn't slap 2 dozen stickers up and down your fenders behind the front wheel-wells...? Please tell me no...

Just for the record, I don't get the "BUILT not bought" thing. Unless you stole the parts and installed them yourself, you had to buy it before you could build it. And besides, anybody can slap a sticker on a car part, that's not building, is it?

Wow! Very impressive - & fully explains your username - 2.2 Turbo!! I bet that goes like stink! & judging by all those brace bars etc handles really nicely?

I own a UK 2000 model TypeR Integra - I brought it RTR I'm afraid - it's completely standard as it left the Honda factory.

Looks nice, Integra. I like it when I see a tastefully-built car, whether it's a modern import or an old vintage. It just seems that I see all too often the huge tack-on spoiler, stick-on fake hoodscoops, ice-cream-pail-sized exhaust tips badly installed and flopping around, and the columns of stickers running up the fenders...

I think its sad that kits have nearly dissapeared. It was always fun looking in the cases and picking out a motor, battery, servo, esc etc to go with a kit.

I agree RTR's have their place but think the market is over saturated with them.

It's pretty sad when someone comes into the shop because their "wheel fell off" and they can't figure out how to put it back on.

its funny asi was at the hobby shop and a guy had brought a large 4x4 truck .. dont know the scale .. maybe 1/8 .. to have something fixed and the repair tech saying " its a good thing you brought it in as alot of it had to go back together in certin steps " and im thinking .. cart before the horse .. and he ends up in front of me in line to pay and hear his total at $225

all i could think is if he had put it toghther he would have beable to fit it
