RE: what is the most money u have spent on a rc!
OK, here we go...
Xray XB8R -
Kit - $550 (at the time)
RB S5 engine and pipe - $350 (at the time)
Spektrum rx - $120 (more expensive in europe)
Aftermarket Xray CNC shock towers - $90
SEVERAL sets of tires, lets say $200
Futaba S9405 servo - $75 (at the time, in europe)
ACE DS1015 servo - $130 !!!!! (Yes, that's how much they cost here!!!)
Starter box and batteries - $150
Receiver pack - $40
Rough total $1805
Xray NT1 (ooooooh, here we go, this one shocked me with the expenses)
Kit: $600 (yes, that's how much the damn thing costs here [&o])
Engine: RB MatrixR and pipe - $380
Servos: 2x Futaba S9451 - $200
Spektrum rx - $120
Receiver pack - $40
Body and paint - $50
Starter box and batteries (mugen pro start) - $200
Setup tools - Speedmind touring car setup kit - $260
HUDY Board Decal - $15
Xray multi diff - $90
Silicones for shocks - $20
Bear in mind, that's not including about 40 sets of tires at $40 plus per set, and some specialist touring car tools I had to buy, so add another couple of hundred to be on the safe side. Total - $1975
And this is just the 'so far' on the XT8, again europe prices

Spektrum rx - $120
ACE DS1015 - $130
HPI SF2 servo - $45
Receiver pack - $40
Paint - $30
Rough total - $1615
I have four other models as well, but those are the three killers.
