I have some used bits of 2 old hirobo cars and my opinion is:
If you plan to race it make sure you got a place where you can run it regularly.
I have built several projects on vintage bases and the only ones I keep running are the ones which are competitive enough to have fun with in stock or full-out racing. Everything which is more 'fun' oriented or aimed at the vintage races (1or 2 a year) just ends up on the shelves or back in parts.
The hirobos won't withstand the violence of modern 4 wd's, nor will they handle the kind of moters used in that class, so unless you have a place that runs a vintage or stock class, I don't think you will enjoy it much.
