Burning up motors kinda hurts when you are running nitro. For electric it seems for me getting all of the tools initially has been more expensive than the car itself. Charger, 0-30, power supply, still dont have a comm lathe, and I had to get all of the SAE drivers since everything on my Mugen is metric. It has cost me a lot more to get into than I thought initially. My son hooking up the battery backwards to my QC2 didnt help either. It is nice that by running 4 cell I can get a top of the line pack for 40-45 bucks from Br00d! That is nice. But as far as budget, I spend what I can. If I had more money, I would just spend that too.
