What the most you ever spent in one visit to the shop?
I'm sure many have spent more than me. The most I've spent in one visit is $310 for a SC10 and a battery.

RE: What the most you ever spent in one visit to the shop?
In a single visit...hm...gotta be about $1200 (when I bought the FG roller). But that's not really representative. Since March I have spent several thousand dollars split over a fair number of online and local stores (amainhobbies has already done very well from me this year). Migrating my collection from nitro/gas to electric has not been cheap. Some models have gone, some have been converted, and new models have been bought.
The big surprise was the AE RC18B/T2 which has been a time and money sink. Well over $400 in it already and still not happy with it. It's getting shelved for a while now that my conversion kit for the mugen truggy has arrived.
Mugen+Truggy+2200kv+6s lipos=THE MADMAN.

RE: What the most you ever spent in one visit to the shop?
$800 when I bought a used 1/5 scale off the owner of a local hobby shop.
2nd would be the purchase of a Savage 25 RTR, back when the value of the Canadian dollar was nothing. Walked out of the shop with the truck, glow plug heater, spare glow plugs, transmitter/receiver batteries, fuel bottle, and a gallon of fuel for $750. Ouch.

About 150 bucks. Bought a Mini-T in one once. Everything else big I've bought online.
My biggest Tower order is 149 bucks. Bought my 18CVRX, a failsafe, some clutch bell bearings, and I used a 20 dollars off code on that order too.

Most in one trip was about $280, CC MMP SCT ESC, 1410 4pole motor, tires/wheels/inserts etc etc if you want to go trip by trip accumulative, we have a hair over a grand in the Slash 4X4 and her Blitz. A couple of race day warriors even tho they havent seen a track since we moved into this giant house and got a big ol TV about a month ago lol

$500 dollars when I bought a brand new Baja clone. It still takes at least 24 pulls to start it up.
