Wow....

just totalled up howmuch I've spent in the last year...

if my wife ever did the math I'd have to factor support payments into the total as well!!!

Let's just say that it was a number that would have been harmful to my health....both my on and offroad inventory has seen a 100% turnover...with some items, such as touring cars being moved more than once...

1 year ago I was running an Xray T1R upgraded to FK specs with a Warpspeed chassis.....since then I've fuly tricked out 2 TC4's (everything available at the time pretty much...the BMI kits weren't released until I sold the TC4's so I had to settle for the Carbon composite...but the full carbon kit, IRS dogbones ith Niftech blades, IRS drive kups, lightened IRS aluminum input shafts, IRS aluminum diffs, Carbide diff balls, Ceramic bearings, Niftech Titanium center drive shaft, FT motor mount, FT clamp, FT cam, etc, etc, etc...)...sold both of those TC4's and went back to Xray with the FK05 when it was released...

Sold my Savage and have replaced it with 2 Revos for now...

Sold my 4wd electric buggy and replaced it with a XXXT MF2 which I sold due to lack of time to get out and race it...

picke dup lots of support equipment too...like replacing my T35 Stealth and Novak Millenium with a Duratrax Ice and a CE Pitbull....then finding a deal on a T35GFX, so selling my Ice....then later trading my pitbull to get the Ice back so I had LiPo capability.....

I've been known to do a little wheeling and dealing.....I just try to keep a bit of a budget available so when those really killer deals come along I'm able to jump on them....(Futaba 9350 servo NIB for $40Cdn, Personal Transponder for $50, etc...)...
