I'd look on Craigslist, find someone that has no idea what they have and pick up a really nice RC car or truck for 50 bucks. That or buy some parts for my son's RC's.

I'd purchase some tools: I hate trying to do a job without proper tools.

Word for the day: asinine
Try using it in a sentence.
Working on my R/C without the proper tools is asinine.

i need a full set of CVD drive shafts for my emaxx. 4s lipo and a titan 775 motor is just too much power for the stock shafts! they lasted just 5 runs before they snapped.

Fuel and glowplugs are a good idea, but they are consumeables. I'd like the person who gave me the $50 to be pleased with my spending, so either a new pipe, or new tires. I can brag up the great results (which will be true) so both the giver and giftee (me) will be happy.

My LHS has an XL-5 for sale for $30 that I need for my Evader. I would then buy new tires for my XXX-T since my driveway quickly turned my dirt tires into slicks.
