"What was your most recent RC related purchase?" Thread
 
Hey guys, got this idea from TRCZ. So basically state the item(s) you got, where you got them, and how much they were. I'll start:
Hobby People, Camarillo CA
1/8 buggy Badlands premounted x2 $33.99 each= $67.98
Hitec HS-645MG $33.99
Also returned some new revo parts I never used, so I paid $30.47 for what I bought. :smile:

My most recent RC purchase was from HobbyCity.com.
I bought a Turnigy Sentilon HV 12s/100A Brushless ESC.
I paid $99.99 + shipping.

Hopefully in the near future I'll post here again. I'm waiting to see if Mike has a motor in stock for me.

BL_RV0 07.09.2008 04:47 PM

Are their shipping prices reasonable?

bl-is-future 07.09.2008 04:48 PM

futaba 3pk with 2 rx's - $420
HDX450SE (Heli) - $250
Total is $670
Both 3 days ago from a good friend of mine.

What's_nitro? 07.09.2008 04:50 PM

Well the version I bought shipped from USA so it only cost me $4.99 for shipping. The Chinese version costs $5 less but costs more to ship AND takes much longer.

BJE 07.09.2008 04:54 PM

My most recent purchase was from a few different places.

Traxxas E Revo $449.99

SPC 7 Cell 4600mAH E Revo Packs $142.03

Proline Badlands MT Tires and J Concepts Rulux Wheels $59.95

Traxxas Splined 17mm Hex Adapters $19.95

I got the E Revo from my LHS. The rims, tires, and adapters I got from impaktrc.com. And the packs from specpointbatteries.com.

Grand Total: $671.92

MTBikerTim 07.09.2008 11:15 PM

I have recently bought an
LRP S8BX which is now on it's way to mike.
Hyperion 610i charger from gixxer.
Most recent was the Xray M18MT with power pack, paints for the body and unbreakable aerial.

What really scares me is all the stuff I need to still buy to get the buggy going, plus I need to buy a power supply for the charger.

rootar 07.09.2008 11:47 PM

this is a bad thread lol i dont even wanna think about all the stuff i tore up over the 4th weekend i left with 6 running veichles and come back with 0, needless to say amain is gonna be sending me a HUGE box with a 100 or more little parts lol, i could have bought a new 1/8 roller for how much i spent.

I have a new emaxx that currently has a plett maxx w/o the fan. I will run it with a griffinru mod 1 MM and a pair of trakpower lipos in series. Should be good for 45mph. I need a good, solid finished truck that I can play with, and do not feel the urge to mod....

I have a few 5997 servos that work great in buggys, but they are a bit noisy. I have not had one fail yet, so thumbs up to hitec!!!

Most digital servos, and therefore all of my servos, make a buzzing noise when there is a light load on them.
