if you cant afford a $30 part at least once a week, then its not the hobby for you.

x2. If you like driving your R/C's on a daily bases, but dont have atleast a $100 dollar a month budget to support that, 1/10th scale hobby grade is not the hobby for you.
fuel alone is $30 bucks a gallon now days if your into nitro... and a gallon doesnt last me a month when i drive my trucks on a regular bases. i always buy 2 gallons every trip to my hobby store. i dont make it there very often, maybe once every 3 months, but every time i go, i never leave spending less than 200 bucks...
If you count all the broken parts, and fuel, and replacement parts, and well absolutly everything, i easily have over $3000 invested into my Tmaxx alone. I have over $500 invested just in aftermarket parts to keep it from breaking.
