RE: what hurts the most
There's no option for both[:@] I would say both, but waiting for the parts in order to repair your truck is more of a PITA in my mind. Maybe it's because I've only had to wait for one new truck to come in because I will/and have only one truck.

That's why you have to have multiple vehicles, and this website.
My mini-t is the most fun to drive now that I am Mamba powered. The only problem is that I seem to be breaking a lot of stuff now. Luckily I have not had to wait for any replacement parts yet.

What hurts worse is when you have a zit inside your nostril and you have a cold with a runny nose.

Any ways I would have to say waiting for the parts to come, even though you have driven it before there's nothing worse then knowing that you have it but you cant run it because of a broken part. It's kinda like having a $500 or more dollar oily paper weight.

Replacement part. If it was a new product, at least you would be able to run your vehicle. I broke 3 parts when I smacked a curb. I got 2 less crucial, but didn't get the servo saver for 5 months. It was a 5 month wait for a 2 minute fix.[:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]

A broken part. It's not that bad when your lhs has it and you just have to goo pick it up. But when they don't have it and they have to order it, then it takes like 1 or so atleast.[&o]

Yeah, I really don't like when you get, "Well, we don't have that in stock right now, but I can order it for you." I understand it and all, but it's really frustrated when you're in the heat of events and want that one part.

I think waiting for a new product to come in is worse because at least with a broken part you can stare and tinker with the actual rc but waiting for the whole thing you only have the ups website and pics

RE: what hurts the most
UGH!!! [:@] I broke my stampede!!! When I posted this poll, I was waiting for it to come in. Now I had fried my motor (Stinger) so i got me new one at the hobby shop 2 hours from my house. it took me almost a week to get up to the shop. So i get home and install it then i put it down in thew kitchen floor and do a donut drive it outside take off down the street come back to me whip it around and my tire is hanging there Damn the bad luck !!!! I remember i gave my friend the part from my truck to use while my motor was out the new ones should come in any day now. but i think they really both suck!! my T-maxx should be here tomorrow also sooooooooo i am gonna go crazy on it and break some more parts. my daughter will be born in February and i know all these parts spurr of the moment are going to stop when that happens so i am stocking up. Its OK though what ever i spend on r/c I put in a jug for her. As I am thinking like wow looking at the jug with this jug i can get a real gas car [:-] for her. She may not be Abel to drive it for a year or two but maybe by then i could have it all blinged out for her LOL and do some field testing to find the weak spots.

RE: what hurts the most
Niether hurts me. I've waited 6 months to drive the RCs again, and after that, it isn't as big of a deal now as it was before. On the other hand, I also hardly ever drive my RCs anymore, so I guess I don't really notice that I am waiting for parts, since I hardly run them. I'm about to build a Sig Somethin' Extra that I'll order in a week, and I've waited a year for this last week of December when I'll build it.

I wish I was rich and could order over-night delivery on parts for my RC.
It hurts worse when when someone puts super-glue on the toilet seat in a public bathroom and you sit on it.

RE: what hurts the most
LOL!!!! Um, I wont admit Ive done pranks before...
Some have backfired....
Anyway, waiting for a partis worse, I mean you have the vehicle, but you cant use it. It snot as bad though, because I have 5 other (running) vehicles I can use.
