Trust me you'll spend plenty in due time with those things.



They are cool though. I used to be able to drift mine 6 feet. If I had lawnmower left overs in the road I could get 12 feet!

We make fiberglass bodies for a guy who sells 1/4 scale cars, here is his web site, I think his cars sell for upwards of $1500 new though.

I used to be heavy into r/c cars and recently got back into it since we have alot of open space at work in the warehouse to race in... it's definately cheaper than real cars, especially if you take into account the lack of speeding tickets and gas if you go electric.



I've probably spent $500 on my kx-one but I had a bunch of old stuff from when I was a kid that I reused... probably $1200 worth of stuff.



nothing close to dropping $6k into engine parts
