I'm at a little under $700.00 personally.
The LHS I work for, we have spent almost $3,100.
All within 6 months.


I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.

....
You have long ways to go young grasshopper :P

I'm waiting for some more cash to put in some more orders for the Turnigy's.

Took some charge, took forever to discharge, took about 8 hours, and I just stopped it.
Was discharging at .7A (BC6 can only handle 1A, and it won't do 1A all the time) so I just stopped it just shy of 8.8 hours.

Only took out 2368mAh during the discharge process..
Didn't even bother with the other one.

Can't wait until I get to run these!

Nope $97 of it was a Assan 2.4ghz module with 2 receivers for my AE XP3D Radio. It should be here in a few days!!! Li-Po is super cheap for my RC18T ;)

From the review it's is great. And the fact that extra RX's are only $25 make it much better than a Spectrum system IMO. I'll be doing a review when I get everything and when my RC18T is running again. I'll even have my contacts so I'll be able to drive even further than before. It's hard to see my tiny RC18T with 20/50 vision and horrible depth perception... LOL

I have TERRIBLE depth perception, hate to see what it'll be when I'm older.

I'm only 14 =/

I, myself, like name brand products when it comes to this.

Batteries, if it has hundreds of great reviews, like the Turnigy's, I'll go ahead and love em.

Just, I bought the DX3R before Assan's were ever out, doh!

I have a AE XP3D waiting for the module and receivers. I'm ready to have a real radio so I can start playing around with all of the setting and with with the 10 model memory I'll be set for a LONG time.

Only 10?
The DX3R has a 30 :p

I kinda want a cheap 2.4ghz though..
Maybe something like a DX3.0 or DX2.0 just so I can run my trucks at once, one for my friend, and one for me...

I need a backup, brushless and a generic AM radio = Glitchcity.

10 is enough for me... I have enough trouble keeping 1 RC running at a time and having anything over 5 seams kinda useless to me because you can only drive 1 at a time and there are only so many hours in a day. I'm getting a job when school starts to maybe things will change once I have a source of income...

That's exactly what I thought, but the point of the 10 Model is that you don't have to keep resetting your stuff just to run the truck/car/whatever.

Yea but having 10 RC's at once it kinda overkill to me. I can't wait till I get to test it out and when I get a Hyper ST so I'll finally have more then 2 RCs.

Yeah, good point.

I have... 4 I think.

AE TC4, EMaxx, ESavage (I know I know.. shaddup ), and my Evader

I think we should stop whoring the thread and get back on topic :p
