Weekly RC spending habits?
Pretty self explanatory, how much (on average) do you spend on RC related stuff? If you bought nothing but a $1000 truck last month you can just list something like "$250 a week". If you are out of the US, estimate to the closest USD amount

I voted 200-299. I just got back into the hobby the last week of November and well, look at the Sig..So it's been about 11 weeks and I'm sure it will go down (I don't like sleeping on the couch) soon.

My Rustler doesn't break enough to spend an average on it. I voted about $50 because of the big upgrades I get for it every now and then.

i don't have any money to spend, and when i do get some i end up spending it on my VW (almost finished with the resto). i don't think iv spent a dime of my own money on RC in the past probably 2 1/2 years

I usually dont spend more than $24 a week, as my RC18T that I drive the most ha a HUGE lot of spares I have accumulated (I have enough to build a complete truck minus electronics) Most of the time, I dont spend anything in a week, but will make monthly orders around $60-80, so I voted $0-24.

Well I just spent over $400 this week, but then again I haven't bought anything in about six months so...
If I were to divide how much I spend a year into weekly payments it would probably be less than $20 per week.

Once you get all the necessary items to start running a nitro vehicle, there really shouldn't be that much more money spent into except over time through fuel, upgrades, and replacement parts. That's what I have run into, I basically have everything I want, therefore, replacement parts and fuel take up the money I spend on R/C. That's really about it, unless I choose to purchase a new R/C.
