RE: the dreaded question, so how much?
so far me and my old man have spent about 5 grand aussie not including spares, fuel and batteries, and i'll be spending another 400 in 4 days ion my revo (few upgrades i'm after plus some new bearings), and in 4 weeks i am buying an LST2 with an STS D30M, dynomite engine brace and the such (probably gonna spend $1'500 on the LST2), in total so far i'd guess around 6k aussie, this year, soon to be around 8 if i have my way, which i will.
