I now I probably exaggerated, it was just to compliment on your $1000 baller rig title!






























just messing with ya!

i don't have a chassis yet, but was thinking of this one in CF.
i think i could get it under 2 oz.

it's a mixture of all the chassis i've made.
this would be #6.

thats what they end up costing, don't they?

$1000 is a budget Berg build if you ask me. I stopped keeping track of mine when it doubled the price of any previous RC I had built.

I guess I'm screwed then. Damn bergs and all their custom made parts

[ittybitty]

I like the looks of that chassis...anxious to see it built

the thread name is me being a smart@$$. it is already up to almost $1000 already and nothing is even together.

you can't tell me that an XR after all the VP this and RC4WD that, that it don't cost a grand or close enough to call it a thousand dollar rig.
i could be wrong, i have never built an XR, yet.

Too funny. We all do the same thing. My wife thinks crawlers cost $200, my cf mountain bike costs $200, etc...

yah, $200 per purchase.

Well my wife would see the visa bill and just shake her head. Somehow I was spending an avg of $600/mo on RC. so I stopped all together and now she gives the stink eye for buying two $700 surfboards in the past 6 months. something about "you already have 6 surfboards blah blah blah", ok there was a $500 wetsuit in there too but come on.

Sorry, BOT.

I like your chassis design. This should be a great rig that's well worth the $!
