expense poll!
i spent a little over 1100$ on a brushless emaxx, bl mini t, a fun gas buggy, and a mini mauler
how much have you spent on RC?
is it too ridiculous or embarrassing to post it? :)

Oh my! I don't want to think about it. Is that in the parts on the truck or trucks. I have bought stuff and broke up and threw away or sold.

Way too much, I'd say over $10,000 in the last 4 years.

i have spent a total of roughly $6220 in the last 2 years. thats not counting fuel and some other little things. thats alot for me cause i dont work. I did have a part time job for 5months.

10,000? Wow, that's a lot! :p

I've probably spent.. $3,000 or so in the last few years, I didn't really spend a ton of money untill I started getting more into brushless! I should actually sell some of my RC's, I have too many! :L:

I have about two grand in rc and no brushless

MetalMan · 11.30.2005, 12:17 AM

A lot for a 16 year old! I would estimate ~$1500, or more.

Well, that was just a guesstimate, but I'd bet it's more than $5,000. I've got several BL systems now, as well as 7 vehicles which are always needing something. There's the purchase of new vehicles, which I'd say mounts to at least half of the full cost, but I've sold a few to make up a bit.

all up - AUD$8000+ - been in rc for about 2 years now maybe?? But i've 'tested the waters' in a couple different things like air/sea/land ;)

About $9000 if you count my cnc mill...

Guerilla · 11.30.2005, 06:20 AM

About $1200 so far on a modded HPI 1/18th, parts for an emaxx, and a rc boat

JOHNNYMAXXIMA · 11.30.2005, 06:50 AM

Between $3000-$3500 in just my Dual BL Maxx alone (including cost of truck) then there is the T-maxx, Savage, X-Terminator, RC18T, P-51 electric plane and two electric helicopters. Not to mention all the tools also. All this in the past year and a half.

Much to much but wen the wife start complain
I just say at least I don't do drugs and Donnie like's it to.

Got a hpi savage 2years old now in the run for bl setup
