What kind of car small bore or big bore and what brand

I burn all my receipts , when it's all said and done, I probably am better off not knowing what I really spend on this hobby.

Sure is fun though!!

I have more questions than answers.

What was the question

I was thinking the same thing

He deleted his post. He wanted to know how much an all aluminum build costs in comparison to his. I think he was around $8k for his. Seems about right. @FG-paul you got everyone’s attention now why don’t you add your post back in. A lot of us have expensive builds. I seen it myself but didn’t have time to go in depth with it.

I'm single and don't know how much i have into any of my RC's. I flew RC Helicopters just a 3D flying became a thing. Crash once inverted and you will never tally up anything in RC.

Ditto, ended up just getting out of flight altogether.
As per the op question. Last build I did was my vekta, stopped keeping track around the $4k mark. Doesn't matter in the end, really, I have $40k sank into my 79 f-350 during its restoration. A hobby is for enjoyment not so much the money end of things. If it puts you in the hole, thats a different story. But all in all I would have spent the money on something anyway so may as well be in something I enjoy.

Nice looking good

Shelf queen. For actual running, 90% of that alloy is unnecessary.
