Just want to know how much you guys have spent on your rigs

[Shaun]

I have about $750 in my WheelyKing.

[cartronicshn]

Tears rolled from my eyes trying to get a ball park number of how much i have spent on rc the last 3 years, not to metion all the 28 years before that

[MCSCOTT]

More than I even want to know. Not to mention I've still got alot more to go to get it where I want it, and even then to me I don't know if it would be comp worthy. Then I've got two more that I want to build two different ways that I already know up front will cost more than what I have in this one, so I don't even wanna think about that either. Then there will come a time when I'll want to build a super, and they cost alot more even.



I've decided it's best to just buy what I want for it, because most things don't cost that much individually. $20 here and $50 there.........as long as I don't look at the total receipt I don't feel too bad about it.

I learned looong ago that counting is a bad idea when $$ and RC are in the same sentence

[extreme]

uhm do spare and left over parts count in to the costs?
radio 30 bucks
esc left over duratrax 8t
futaba 100 somthingoz servo left over from juggy
rock claws 40
scorpion kit 220
battery 30

total 320-375 if you include the leftover electronics
and a first place trophy from the first comp i went to and im constitanyly in the top drivers at my local events and 5th at a florida comp with some really crappy driving in the first run

id love to see how it stacks up in colorado with some of my better driving

but i have about 800 bucks planned in upgrades... probally more

[Brenan]

Every time I go to the LHS, it is around $100. I find myself there almost every week....for the past year, or so...

I'm in the same boat as the other whipees and for that reason, will not be revealing how much I've spent on my one comp rig, never mind all of my r/c stuff. It's a lot, and I still have more upgrades planned! Hell, just in shipping costs alone I've probably spent 200 to 300 bucks in the past 6 months!

[MONKEYPIARATE]

Its me or those stupid cars she said,,,,,

Never keep track of what I spend! Not sure that's the way to do it, but it seems to work for me. I don't have a wife to budget my play money, so I'm sure I spend way to much. I lay awake at night thinking about what I'm going to blow my tax return on. lol Should I get a TF2? Maybe a Sawback? Maybe both? Maybe a Yeti? Maybe I should just get a wife again so she can tell me what I can spend and what I can spend it on. Yup, I'm poking fun at you ball and chain guy's.

I don't keep track of my RC expenditures but I giggle every time I empty the garbage can in the hobby room and see all the receipts and packaging from the parts. My wife buys a good part of them and asks me what I need for the autocross truck and tells me to get the parts I need. Not everyone marries a spiteful tart.
