RE: How much has everyone spent??
Hardly nothing...aside from 2 Revo's and enough spare parts / engine / frame / shells to build a 3rd. It's the maintenance that's expensive. When I started, I did not own or need a compressor but through research I found that one was necessary in order to keep things clean. Also found that your lost in this hobby without a dremel and all the attachments. I could go on and on, but as mentioned before, the wife may be watching.

Why the neckro post man? I'm like that one guy who said he refuses to answer incase his wife stumbles across it and decides to go spend the same amount that he has. This is depressing. I have not spent anywhere near what i want to though.[:'(]

RE: How much has everyone spent??
after my T4 on Ive spent in the neighborhood of $5000 easy. with my T4 over $7500 I spent $2500 getting my t4 running and such, $1500 on a Bk2, god only knows what on my mammoth ST which I traded for my revo.
EDIT: did I mention my revo is the only one that may work (I need fuel, and glow igniter and plugs my old igniter went MIA...)

RE: How much has everyone spent??
Got my first truck a couple months ago (Revo)
Altogether I've put about $800 into it
I expect it to be up to a couple thousand by the end of the year

RE: How much has everyone spent??
Ive spent over $4,000 in my maxx alone. Its been though multiple stages, alot of wasted time and money, lol. I can make a list right now of the biggest things on my VBS JT Supermaxx:
VBS w\ti skids - $575
Racer-x susp. - $350
6 spyder diffs - $100
SMRW Slot 8s - $180
EB mod 528 - $400
Servos - $200
Shocks - $80
cvds - $150
tranny - $300
Chassis - $200
Radio - $150
Starter box - $80
Servo saver - $100
Pillowballs - $50
Wingmount - $40
Thats $2,955 alone, and this is my current setup, ive changed it many times.
My serpent i dumped a nice penny all in 1 day.
Serpent 960 kit -$550
JP mod 35 plus - $700
Servos - $200
Pipe - $100
Starter box - $80
Radio - $ 150
Custom body - $60
Thats $1,840, missing some small things. Gotta love walking into a hobby shop with 2 grand and walking out with a lightweight wallet. I have 2 other main cars with over $1k in each also. My collection has been growing for 7 years. My next truck will be a Savage for a beater im thinking.
Heres a few pics of my VBS JT hybrid. Recently finished it from converting it from a Supermaxx with thunder chassis.
