How much money have you spent on R/C??
how much money have you spent on r/c.. throught your life.. it can be a rough estimate aswell.. but the more detail.. the better(p.s. dont think cause u spent $1000 ur not gonna be "beat" this is no competition.. and if it was.. imo, zippo wins hands down... he has the nitros and that HUGE collection of xmods)
also include battery costs.. chargers.. nitro fuel.. EVERYTHiNg! for me: rough estimate: $1500 details: rustler: $110 Novak Cyclone: $200? Dirt hawgs: $15 Body: $20 Trinity Monster: $30 MicroRS4: $230? (got it the week it came out) RC18(used): $225 Scaler Project: $450 Xmod Starter Kits: $525(only got one on clearance) Xmods Hop Ups(everything): $275(estimate) Micro-T: $45 Micro-T hop ups: $40 rc18/rustler spare parts: $30 Lipo Charger: $135 Lipo batts: $60 nimh batts: $100 Deans/soldering irons: $70 Model Body: $15 Paintz: $40 F1 r/c: $40 umm thats all i can think of Grand Total:$2655 my rough estimate was waaaaaaaay off lol now, how much have YOU spent? |
i lost count at 7000 or so, a whole whole bunch of xmods, an sc8 nitro, 3 rs4 nitros, a tmaxx nitro, a tsunami nitro, a hyper 1/8 nuggy nitro, a losi micro crawler, a bunch of mini zs, a couple rpmz, 4 nitro boats, etc.

Being in the plane hobby we are constantly spending money. For some reason those darn things do not want to stay in the air for very long... Land RC just runs away and hits a tree; flying RC has a tendancy to go hundreds of yards in the totally wrong direction and fall a hundred-plus feet to solid Earth.. Nothing like seeing a grand to two grand for a moderate plane crash to the ground... :p
I'm actually afraid to guess how much I have spent on RC. Let alone my dad and I combined (he's been at this since the late 60's!)... :eyecraz: Cheers, Kyle. |
I'm afraid to add mine up as it will just depress me. Let's just say I'm 36 and have been into this since 10 or so and in the past year alone I spent well over 5K. I have one car that was 2K alone:(
|
Wow. Now I don't feel so bad at all. I am most certainly under $500.

although planes can add up quickly as well, so donzii would be right up there. |

Between me and my girlfriend We have around $1000 probably.

I couldn't even give an estimate of what I've spent.
I'm 36, and I've been in and out of the hobby since I was 13. To tell the truth, I wouldn't even want to know how much I've spent in this hobby throughout the years. I've probably spent more on this hobby then I've spent on all but of my actual "real cars"(1/1). |
I would hate to know what ive spent over the years.So far this year its a little over a grand.
|
I think I've spent between 800 and a thousand:cry: , But I have gained some back through selling some. Great Idea for a Thread.:nod:
|
More than I should have.
Every once in a while, I look at all the useless **** I've bought (R/Cs, cds, PS3, Xbox, shoes, hats) and think about how much money I would have if I hadn't bought them. |

As for the R/C hobby.. I'm not sure how much I have spent, I'd guess right around $2k or so. |

I had extra cash, but I spent on something I didn't "really" want. It was just something that I was like "Oh hey, this looks cool." Now I don't play with any of the things I mentioned, nor do I wear many of the hats and shoes I've wasted money on. If I hadn't wasted all this money, I would pretty much be done with my audio build in my Blazer, and could possibly have gotten it painted already. Freaking. Gah. |
ehh, scary thought... my cr914 cost $700 without electronics..... i'd hate to add up all of my rc stuff, prob around high 2k to low 3k
|
wanna know something funny?
ive spent 2.6grand so far... after the scaler build is gone.. there is gonna be another $400ish put into a brand new one.. then ontop of that.. i may get rid of my poor 18t.. and get a 1/10 stadium truck... great.. another $300ish.. gone.. lmao.. i love how everything adds up |
Last year when i was laid off i bought peoples collections and sold them on ebay.I bought 50 or 60 rcs last year but then sold them all except fo a couple.I got tired of fixing them up so i stopped doing it.Thought about doing again but now im back to work so dont have time to do so now.
