Unknown.

More then cost of replacing it easily, but beyond that i just dont know. Its nothing to my 1:1 trucks maintnence costs though and this makes it easier to deal with for me.

Theres nothing in life today, that don't cost you something, somewhere along the way, and it will cost more and more to continue to enjoy its existance in your life...

T*T, Tubes Or Tires, Its going to cost, and grief you to no end.

Revo - $400 used, traded a Tm 323 (one of 4 engines that came with it) for a iPod Video.
Final cost - $150 with a RB modded TRX 2.5, TRX 3.3 and Mach 28 Pro version, complete Ti screw kit, 2 extra diff's, extra tranny, center diff, rear brake kit, RPM a-arms, Extended TRX a-arms, complete set of springs w/some duplicates and so many other parts I can build a second Revo 2.5.

I just put in an order for some Badlands and other misc. $110.
3.3 chassis $20

Roughly around $270 so far, oh did I mention it came with a starter box too?

Well over $5000.00 in the last three months, over 2500 in my revo alone[X(]

walterPPK

I started on RC trucks 3 months ago and I have spent about US$2,500.00

basic

i perfer not to think about it and not really keep track. it's only money, and you can't take it with you. also this way when the fiance asks how much i've spent i can honestly say i don't know.

Way way way too much. I'd guess I have about $1200 worth of t-maxx here, but I probably have easily over $2000 in it total, if you count replacements for broken parts and the upgrades that got removed/replaced...

I'd guess I had about $350 in the Rusty I just ebay'd off.

I just dumped $400 on a Nexstar trainer to start into RC flight (found out I have 2 flying fields within 5 minutes of my home, and 2 other fields within 15 minutes of where I work) so I'm giving RC flight a spin since there are so many fields. I wish I had that many offroad tracks to choose from...if I did the rusty wouldnt have been sold.

i got my t-maxx .15 cpouple days after this christmas.

so far i replace the front shock tower and replace 2 rear tie rods and replace the rear long shaft on the right wheel also got a ez-start wand.

so i say i spent on parts 42$ thats with parts.

and i bought 2 gallons sense i bought the so alltogether 96$ so i guess not to bad

tho i problee going to need new fuel lines because lasnight when i was driveing it it start bucking out than i notis i ran out of gas and i had a half of tank and i ony driven it under a min lol.

so i saw gas on the street and i poped the body off and tried to start it and saw it spraying.

so today i took the line off and cut the line and put it back on so might be a fix lol

but so far loving my t-maxx wish i whould of got in this years back lol well i was but i ony driven electrick and those was nothing like this t-maxx

hxtour ben

well all this really maks me feel better! yep ive already spendt about 150.00 since i started this thread! lol oh well its good to know there are other ppl out there crazier than me
