Status: offline 		Hi. How much have you spent on your R/C car, truck.?

Ive spent over $600.00 into my Electric Rustler, thats including hopp-ups, and all the broken parts that I had to repair! But im only 14 so I think that thats pretty good of a car for a kid my age!

How much have you spent?!

Status: offline 		this is a bad question to ask, hahaha. I was asked this in another forum about a month ago, and did a quick tab to about 9,000 bucks to date this year alone. I dont want to do a lifetime total, i probably could have bought a second house.

BTW - Something to note, keep a close eye on this thread and you will see an alarming trend......only the single people will post here. The married ones dont want any evidence of their spending available to the wife, haha.

Status: offline 		Man...well over $1000, and I've only got 2 cars. I know that's not that much compared to other people, and I don't regret spending it, but sometimes I think about how I could've put that money into my real truck...lol.

Status: offline 		Cutwag that's the best collection of RC vehicles i've ever seen! Looks like they have their own room too?

I was gonna post a breakdown of everything i've spent on my Kanai II but it gave me hives. Put it this way: The only thing i haven't had to buy is a transponder cuz the track supplies them on race day.

This is not a cheap hobby eh. And to think i still want to build a Losi XXX4 G+ and a nitro stadium truck.
