Fricken reality hearts / Bites...

I can relate to your pain... My mbx-5 started out nitro and set up was $ 1,200-. Now add the BL conversion, 6 batts. RCM mount, 1512, MGM & MMM esc V1, etc......

All in all total investment is roughly...$ 2,500- I did sell some of the nitro stuff to help w/some purchases. All in all this is a v/expensive hobby, but seeing my buggy fly in the air and go by me doing 40+ mph. I realize that it is worth all the trouble and money. Besides, there are a lot of OTHER hobbies we could be doing that are not so on the up and up.....
