The cheapest I bought a new 1/5 buggy for was $195 for the Smartech traveller.........most I have ever sold a 1/5 for was $4000 for a all alloy FGMT with sided pipes

Ive spent easy over $80,000 in the past 6 years buying and selling 1/5 vehicles and parts...probably about $10,000 worth of vehicels in my garage right now

I have had my HPI 5B SS for about 1 1/2 months. Have around $1,600 US in it and still not ready to fire it up. I all ready had a good radio so this price does not include a radio.

In all my RC stuff I have over $30,000 tied up. [X(]

I can see from some of these posts that I have been a GOOD boy even though my wife would say different! I have probably spent $7-8K total over the last 7-8 years on RC.

If you are asking specifically about how much I paid for my 1/5th, I bought a REAL HPI Baja 5B SS from Debbies RC World and paid $829 shipped to my door. Have spent about $300 additional on it in 3 weeks.

Never keep track of hobby dollars. You shouldn't put a price on fun.
