I don't think he was there.

Its very easy to get carried away with this hobby - i know because I did the same!

My advice to a newby would be to choose a class and stick with it whilst you are learning to drive - a 2wd buggy such as a madrat/Monkey or B4is ideal since you learn an awful lot about car control whilst you only have 1 transmission to maintain.

Start with a chassis that is strong but forgiving to drive and use a modest motor (say 13.5 for touring car, 10.5 for buggy). Once you are confident and are crashing less (even the best drivers make mistakes!) then start to increase the motor speed. You can continue to use your exceed esc since this will take anything down to a 6.5t and they are pretty reliable
