RE: what's wrong with these people
yeah, if you keep a car that long and use it for more than just speed runs up and down the street, its pretty easy to have that much wrapped up in it. i got a duratrax overdrive i've had for 5 years and i have between $500 and $600 in it, not counting the cost of the truck itself. if you break it down, i guess its not bad, $100-$120 a year. i recently put a traxxas 3.3 on it, and now it flies (its like a 4x4 jato!), so i expect to break even more!!!
