Just curious, and I'm sorta taking a poll. Just answer the questions, please.

-How long have you been involved in rc cars?
-How many cars do you own?
-How much money on average have you put into rc cars?
-Do you race?How often?




Thanks,
Zach

9 years in the hobby
Own 3 cars currently, but have owned 79 others through the years
My tools, chargers, pit equipment, etc cost about 1500, cars cost around $500-700 each (plus electronics, motors, and batteries). (And 8th scale was about 2x that much)
Race 1-2 times a week

zachzachz 08-03-2003 10:08 AM

Hey guys I'm 14 too, and my parents dont buy me squat. It took me a good 6 months to save up for my car and batteries and stuff, and it took a lot of convincing for my parents to let me have it. Then again I have a few jobs and make about 100 a month in the summer, and winter I make more.

Otherwise,
4 months in the hobby
1 car
about $500 (roughly)
hopefully soon, still learning
