hello there,
during a month, we have 2 races and few practice sessions, so lets do the math
- 4 sets of tires = 240 bucks
- 2 sets of clutch bearings = 12 bucks
- 1 galon of Byron Gen 3 = 38 bucks
- few parts here and there just to make sure = 30 bucks
about 300 to 350 a month i would say without any major problems (servos, engine, or pricy spare parts)
and thats only for Off-Road
and about the wife thing, she is 100% sure that my MP9, engine, servos, TX, starter Box, batteries, option parts coast 450 bucks all together
hope she doesn't come on rctech.net alot
just an advice, if you are married with a kid, tell your wife this prices list:
1- 1/8 buggy complete 450 bucks
2- 1/10 touring complete 300 bucks
3- any RC engine is 80 bucks
4- a set of tires is 20 bucks
5- a galon of fuel is 10 bucks
do that and you will be happy
also dont forget to take 15% out of the list above when a new baby arrives
cheers
Ali
