Well if you figure in all rc hobbies, probably around $20,000.00 over the last 22 years. Been in rc since I was 12. That includes trucks, planes and helis.

RE: How much has everyone spent??
Well... Let's see here:
All together (including what I gave for the truck) about $800 into my T Maxx
$200 into my Mini-Baja
$150 into my Xmods EVO mustang
$250 into my Blade CX-2 Heli (and I just bought that thing last week!!! LOL! )
Well, the grand total for me is $1400.00
That's not as bad as I thought it was gunna be. If I add in fuel, batteries, chargers, and paint, I guess it would be arround $1600.00 total, still not bad!
Jack.

I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that my wife may stumble across it and decide that she should be allowed to spend the same amount on her stuff
