How much have you invested? - Mr. Tune - 11-01-2004
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.
How much have you invested? - thenewguy821 - 11-01-2004
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)

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.

How much have you invested? - SixVi6-Camaro - 11-01-2004
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.

How much have you invested? - RCDad - 02-17-2005
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.
How much have you invested? - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 02-18-2005
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!!!!
How much have you invested? - looker2756 - 06-22-2005
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.............................
How much have you invested? - PoPRC - 10-02-2005
$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.
How much have you invested? - bandit - 10-02-2005
At least $1000 in kits, parts, and repairs. But I imagine when I start with nitro again the total will climb.
How much have you invested? - cemeb4dk - 10-02-2005
Not saying much for the 2 1:1 cars you own bjoe.
