I just placed another order for a whopping 43.00 4 lipos and 12 razor knifes with the break away blades for .99, how can you go wrong with a deal like that ?

rawfuls 07.01.2009 11:03 AM

$43.00?
For 4 lipos?

Jeez, are you buying small lipos?
My Turnigy 2S 5000mAhs totalled up to $54 for two!

Just looked and my new total is $675. I plan on another $120+ on my next order...I am now a platinum member. :yipi:

Is there really a membership level above platinum?

magman 12.29.2009 09:17 PM

In the last 6 months...$ 550-

Bondonutz 12.29.2009 09:37 PM

I think Linc mentioned recently he has unobtanium status or something like that. And also he's a pimp, that might be why. G's up, hoes down.

phildogg 12.29.2009 11:39 PM

I've spent around 200.00

Nothing yet.
 
I have not had the pleasure of purchasing anything from Hobbycity just yet, but I have spent well over $20K on the R/C hobby in general over the last 4 years. Most of my purchasing powers have been spent on RCM, UE, T/H, A-Main, Casttle, R/C4WD, Fastlane, Nomadio, and even M/A once just to name a few. Considering their prices on Lipos and such I am sure that some of my money will end up in that direction soon. I try to do my best to support the local USA vendors when I can. I believe that we need to do our utmost to keep America moving in the right direction by spending our $$$ at home, even if our own Gov is not. Just my opinion...

johnrobholmes 12.30.2009 12:03 AM

Some killer deals now http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=9176

JERRY2KONE 12.30.2009 12:08 AM

Wow!!!

We hope to have the rest of our Xmas debt paid off on New Year when my retirement gets deposited. I ended up having to charge a few last minute items for the kids since they are out of country at the moment. Still the Holiday deals were just killer.

johnrobholmes 12.30.2009 12:14 AM

I just got 5 packs of the 25c flavor in to boost my last bike build. It will have 12s 20ah with the extra pack, and 10ah with the standard pack.

Can't wait to finish it up and start ripping up town again.

Metallover 12.30.2009 12:20 AM

Your bike and that reduction unit are sexy! :angel:

I have a mongoose blackcomb which is the same as one of doctorbass's bkes. I am going to talk to methods about hooking me up with a rear 9 26" 9c and the works. Just quick, what size controller should I look for with a 26" 9c@44.4v? Is a turnigy Watt meter and a gps good enough or should I go for the CA?

JERRY2KONE 12.30.2009 01:44 AM

More details
 
Hey Holms can you share some more detailed pics of your bike. It looks pretty cool, but I would like to see a little bit more. What bike is that and how did you hook it all up? Do you have a thread on your bike already? Just asking.

maxair45 12.30.2009 01:57 AM

Just put in a new order of lipos for the 1/8 buggy. Hmm I could use some more carbon fiber too.......

gixxer 12.30.2009 03:54 AM

$300 spent there. Will make another order come spring for some 8th scale packs. Looking at the 4s 5800mah packs now. If I go down to 4s from my current 6s setup I think this is what I will be ordering.

scarletboa 12.30.2009 04:24 AM

i've spent over $600 there. i love their turnigy lipos and the chargers there are great for the price. i just bought 4 of the 5200mah 30c hardcase turnigy packs and they have more punch and less heat than my smc 9000mah 28c packs. i also got that one charger that goes up to 10a and 6s lipo (200w).

i love hobbycity for their cheap turnigy lipos and there batteries are surprisingly better than half of the US brands that i've seen.

junkman 12.30.2009 09:47 AM

$1659, wow, kinda wish I hadn't added that up now.

HomeGrown 12.30.2009 01:15 PM

i've spent nothing at hobbycity.. i support my LHS when i have to buy stuff.. but when i upgrade to LiPo HC will have my (or Lincs) total go up..lol..

Never really bought a charger from hobbycity. I went to hobbypartz and got one of these:
http://www.hobbypartz.com/tht6smbach16.html
and one of these:
http://www.hobbypartz.com/thac6smbachw.html


By far the bast chargers I've own. I absolutely love them. The AC6 is for the home workbench and the T6 goes with me to the track(it's really tiny so its easy to throw in the pit bag). Now if were talking about hobbypartz I think i've passed $1,000 mark...thats a lot for me!

Duster_360 12.30.2009 01:29 PM

Only $242.63, thats in 3 orders. Don't ask what I've spent at Tower this year.....

Unsullied_Spy 12.30.2009 01:51 PM

HobbyCity: around $300
Tower Hobbies: I'd rather not know
Amain Hobbies: Ditto on Tower
Daves motors: I want to cry now....

mistercrash 12.30.2009 01:54 PM

1425.03 at Hobby City.
2480.97 at Hobby Room.
613.70 at A Main Hobbies.
4154.57 at ebay, RCM, and other places.

I am not counting the trips I made to the LHS.

I am a sick man. Help me.

BrianG 12.30.2009 02:10 PM

The vast majority of my brushless component (ESC/motor/battery) purchases are from RCM. I don't even want to know how much that comes out to be. :oh:

I've spent a total of $330 on HC so far. It's really hard to pass up the price on the Turnigy lipos.

brushlessboy16 12.30.2009 03:12 PM

Spent close to 500 at hobby city
Well over 1000 at amain
I dont even want to tally up ebay....

wallot 12.30.2009 03:20 PM

HC - $1,000+
Tower - $10,000+
Amain - $15,000+
RCM - I guess around $1,000
Others - a lot

Joy from the hobby - PRICELESS :lol:

Glad not everything was for me, but for my friends, but still I spend a lot. However better than my wife spending that money :diablo:

Is that a typo, maybe you added a extra zero accidentally...$27,000 in rc...wow!!! Thats crazy!

wallot 12.30.2009 06:30 PM

I did not say a year :) It is over 3 years.
And lot of the stuff was for my friends.
I spend on average $500 a month. More in summer during outdoor racing season, less in winter. And not all expenses are RC parts. There is travel to races, acommodation and stuff.

But it's worth it. Most spring/summer weekends gone with friends. Racing during the day and drinking during the night :)

johnrobholmes 12.31.2009 02:04 AM

This thread has more info on the bikes http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...495#post341495

Oh well thats better then. I was gonna say:mdr:

georgec 12.31.2009 07:00 PM

Thanks guys, I was beginning to fell guilty about the amount I spend on my rc habit but not any more:whistle:

lincpimp 12.31.2009 07:53 PM

I have spent about 20k since I started rc which was in early 07. I have about 6-8k right now, I sold about 5k worth in the last few months. Spent that twice over on guns though, I do not even dare to think what I have in guns/ammo/related...

skellyo 02.04.2010 05:50 PM

Alrighty, I just placed my first order to hobbyking. $162 for a pair of 5S 30C 5000mAh Turnigy Lipos. I have a feeling they'll be getting a lot more of my money for batts from now on.

Awesome packs, I have three and they have ben working them hard and still balance perfect.

JERRY2KONE 02.04.2010 07:44 PM

Great price
 
Compared to Maxamps for 5S 30C lipos that is an awesome price. What a deal, and from all of the reviews I have seen they run just as well or even better. Thanks for sharing.

georgec 02.04.2010 08:20 PM

I have been running the crap out of my Turnigy packs for two years with zero problems and I always balance charge them at 2c (10amps) Best bang for the buck IMHO!
