How much has everyone spent??
 
hey guys, i figured id start this thread just to convince us all that there are others out there who have spent their life savings on these machines lol i figure that in all when i look at my orders from tower and ebay for replacement parts and hop ups that ive spent around 1200 dollars on my revo!! i think its crazy but i have a feeling im not the worst off out there. Make me feel better guys lol

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!:D )

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!:D

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:eek::eek:
