How much have you spent on RCs this year?
Man, I've been spending a lot of mone on RCs lately.
REVO: 480
18T: 175
Fuel: 60
TC4+(drifting project): 300
Accessories(bag, glow igniter, shell, paint, batteries): 50
The feeling I get when my nitro starts up or when I pull a nice drift: Priceless
TOTAL: $1065
I want to buy a JATO tomorrow but when I look at how much I've spent in the past two months, I freak.
I better not or else the wife will trip large.
How much have you guys spent in the past 12 months?

this year about 1100 ,c5b,starter box,12 volt battery,additiaonal spectrum rec,new paint,tires and a few servos, now in the past 12 months well over 20,000 have receipts and the lhs account to prove it not braging actually a lot of it is gone gave it away and sold most left with 2 buggies out of more then 10 nitro rc ,gallons of fuel that i lost count ,motors atleast 10, tires to many ,radios around 3-5 ,im sure this year will be close to 10-15k which doesnt make me any better then any of you it just means i had more money to spend thats all and yes i own a house have a mortgage and a greedy wife to add so what im trying to say that once you get into this hobby alot and make more money you are going to spend quite alot especially when the guy you hang out with has 35 cars dam it all top of the line and rubs it in your face lol and now me and my friend formed a rc racing team with 27 members teamfirefox so i hope that most of you dont let it get carried away like i did but if you do make sure you dont regret it like i do ,so to all you nitro junkies go and sniff some nitro lol

By the way, is that compressed air in the back of your truck to keep the dust off your truck?
If it is, I have the same stuff stocked in my garage.

Keep it going.
I've spent over a thousand this year alone.
Guess what, after reading this, I'm tempted to buy a JATO tomorrow because it will be good stress relief for me.
THIS IS GREAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT THERAPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(It's cheaper than seeing a therapist; or maybe not_)
