I run about 24 races a year (mostly club level). Figure not including an initial buy in you can run a 24 race season competitively with no sponsorship for $3000 a year?
Figure race entry, fuel, tires, and normal wear/maintenance parts set you back $200 a weekend. Factor in any transportation costs and unexpected replacement parts needed and I cant see a season costing less than that.

I only buy maybe one totally new kit a year if that. I usually just replace stuff as needed to keep everything like new. I race at least twice a month, sometimes more. It's gotta be at least a 5k a year hobby if your running buggy and truggy regularly with no sponsor, and I would say that pretty conservative.

man i have no idea what.. i spend going racing the whole season (club level)
i dont race every weekend so that helps.
and do tend to let things, wear longer than i should be likes tires and drivetrain
on my truggy.
the best thing to do is, look at all online stores and find the best prices and cheapest shipping like dirt cheap r/c .com and bluegrass hobbies.com

thats alot of running. im a full time college student right now and i cant afford buying tires so much so i dont practice much. wish i could, but i am starting too now. but your track has 4 hours of practice before a race?? thats crazy, most in my area doesnt unless you come the day before lol

Let's just say that if I had to pay for my tires I probably wouldn't race...
