pocket change
 
expense poll!
i spent a little over 1100$ on a brushless emaxx, bl mini t, a fun gas buggy, and a mini mauler
how much have you spent on RC?
is it too ridiculous or embarrassing to post it? :)

coolhandcountry 11.29.2005 10:59 PM

Oh my! I don't want to think about it. Is that in the parts on the truck or trucks. I have bought stuff and broke up and threw away or sold.

dabid 11.29.2005 11:02 PM

Way too much, I'd say over $10,000 in the last 4 years.

Basketti 11.29.2005 11:09 PM

i have spent a total of roughly $6220 in the last 2 years. thats not counting fuel and some other little things. thats alot for me cause i dont work. I did have a part time job for 5months.

E-Traxxer 11.29.2005 11:11 PM

10,000? Wow, that's a lot! :p

I've probably spent.. $3,000 or so in the last few years, I didn't really spend a ton of money untill I started getting more into brushless! I should actually sell some of my RC's, I have too many! :L:

rchippie 11.29.2005 11:21 PM

I would have to say for me some were between dabid & basketi LOL. To much
:L: :L: :L: :L:

crazyjr 11.29.2005 11:30 PM

I have about two grand in rc and no brushless

MetalMan 11.30.2005 12:17 AM

A lot for a 16 year old! I would estimate ~$1500, or more.

dabid 11.30.2005 01:06 AM

Well, that was just a guesstimate, but I'd bet it's more than $5,000. I've got several BL systems now, as well as 7 vehicles which are always needing something. There's the purchase of new vehicles, which I'd say mounts to at least half of the full cost, but I've sold a few to make up a bit.

danhfvcsd 11.30.2005 01:39 AM

all up - AUD$8000+ - been in rc for about 2 years now maybe?? But i've 'tested the waters' in a couple different things like air/sea/land ;)

Cold Fusion 11.30.2005 03:35 AM

About $9000 if you count my cnc mill...

Guerilla 11.30.2005 06:20 AM

About $1200 so far on a modded HPI 1/18th, parts for an emaxx, and a rc boat

JOHNNYMAXXIMA 11.30.2005 06:50 AM

Between $3000-$3500 in just my Dual BL Maxx alone (including cost of truck) then there is the T-maxx, Savage, X-Terminator, RC18T, P-51 electric plane and two electric helicopters. Not to mention all the tools also. All this in the past year and a half.

mack 11.30.2005 07:10 AM

Much to much but wen the wife start complain
I just say at least I don't do drugs and Donnie like's it to.
(Donnie is my 4 year old son)

But to give jou a price I got 1buggy 3 years old totally broke
Got a hpi savage 2years old now in the run for bl setup
two schumacher nitro fusion's
And 1year old FG monster beetle wiht many options but I try to kill a tree But tree has won so i had to rebuild the FG

Just got a "Bladerunner II" toy helicopter for $60 from our store because of my discount, this thing's a blast! The guys there were all jealous because no one else has gotten to fly one, but a couple of the airplane guys that were still there when I left took a turn, we all agree it's gotta be the best "toy" we carry!

Basketti 12.02.2005 06:34 AM

My mates got a helicopter, but i havent seen him fly it. they sound good though, but tricky to control if your new to helicopters.

nbcaznmaster 12.02.2005 07:31 AM

gass hellies are scary. If u run outta gas, BAM! it'll drop!

dabid 12.02.2005 04:26 PM

Yeah, well it's almost the same with an electric if your batts start dumping. A guy at work said he saw this guy with a Shogun flying upside down when the pack began to dump, all the guy could say was "Crap! crap! crap!" and the thing got lower and lower to the ground. He ran over, and carefully reached toward the landing gear, grabbed it, and killed the throttle........all was okay. :D
