Subject is pretty much self explanitory.
The recent heli purchase and put me over the 2k mark.
In May, I had nothing. Now, 6 months later, I have a truck, 2 on-roads and a heli. Lots of money on mods and parts along the way to.
Hmmm....
$200 total on the Rustler and upgrades...
$250 for the Maxx, about $200-$300 on various upgrades....
$400 for the Savage, only about $100 on upgrades....
$370 for the LST, only $30 in parts so far
FUN FACTOR ------ PRICELESS!
(sorry, it was starting to sound like the MasterCard commercials)
Not to mention Bodies, batteries, chargers, ignitors, fuel, etc....
So I'd say upwards of $1800. (minimum)
well, $275 for my stock t-maxx.................and..................well........................about an easy $1200 in upgrades and accesories. (oh and still climbing) and thats after only 8 months
No need to get into detail but over the past 2 1/2 years I've spent about 5K on everything I've had or have.
your at like 10K my freind.
Hard to put an exact number though since I buy, sell, and trade soo often but I've had the landmax and the Maxx is some shape or form for years and I know I've put well over 3K into those two alone.
my first born.... and a left arm

well about 2-300$ on fule and parts in tha years i had my maxx befor i met all you.....then well after that....lets just say my maxx dose not realy resemble what it use to...over all im probly around the 1-1.5k mark. (and thats well im unemployed)
3- stock savage 25 $400. each
2-kyosho 777 $650. each
4- orion wasps .26 $125.00 each
12- various hitec servo's totaled $575.
3-truckzila kits $300. each
4-sets of various tires/ wheels totaled $180.

8- gallons of fuel varous grades $220. total at one time every 2 months

2 savages $425. each
2- truckzilla kits $350.00
6- orion wasps engines $130.
and supplies fuel and junk ,servos,$900.
so there was a price difference on some items this year versus last year
i still have all my reciepts ,bill "fire" thats not including the airboat last year and that mono hull boat either and a few other missing things i bought that ofna blazer and buggy so its missing those and the helicoptor too.so theres a few hundred dollars missing in there still
this year the munchkin gets a mt rush since she likes the them now last year she was scared crappless of the noise,not anymore
so thats what i spent in 1 year 2 weeks into 2005 not including the last 5 years before
I agree with one of the former posters, I've bought, sold and traded so much I don't even remember all the cars/trucks that I've owned.
My T-Maxx is my baby though, one day I'll have to figure out how much I've spent on it so far.
Two nitro RS4's, lots of repair parts, tires, wheels, tools, new radio, ...about $800, and now looking for a Revo......
and then there's the xmod car for the living room during the winter, add $100.
_____________
Now add a Revo, new radio, some tools, about another $650. We're up to $1550. Jeez I wish I hadn't added all that up.
Please we've burned about $150 of fuel, glow plugs, and batteries! Call it $1700.
______________
And a Mini t with alum parts $100 or so. $1800, somebody stop me, please!!!!
All I can say is ALOT. 7 T-Maxxes, 1 XXX-NT, 1 Maximum MT, 1 Maximum ST, 1 TC3, 1 mini-t, 1 Sledgehammer, & 1 old Tamiya Lunchbox. These are what I have right now. Traded a Monster Pirate & Pirate Dominator. I still have some plane stuff too. Over 10k in the past 5yrs.
Too much!
If you've had RC Cars that were worth more that the 2 full size cars you own.............................
$500.00 I think, give or take fifty. I got to spend at least another 150.00 to get the GT where I want it.
At least $1000 in kits, parts, and repairs. But I imagine when I start with nitro again the total will climb.
Not saying much for the 2 1:1 cars you own bjoe.
Those two are long gone now.
Probably close to around 3K....thanks for making me realize that!!!
well with the 3 cars i have and all upgrades/ broken parts prolly almost 3k!
