Who buys your R/Cs?

[RustlerRacer16]

Obviously, the adults work their jobs to buy theirs, I do chores to make minimal cash for mine. How do you other teenagers get by?

[BP-Revo]

My own job and gifts for x-mas and my birthday.

Every once in a while my dad will help pitch in for certain repairs, and he pays for half of the nitro fuel, which gets expensive.

[31794ty]

My parents bought me my stampede for x-mas but, I have to pay for all repairs...

[revoboy3392]

my mom and dad bought my revo... and if i have the money to pay for the repairs/upgrades i will buy it... but if not my mom will

[Super Z]

My dad pays me to mow grass with him.But he'sbought me both my Stampede and Rustler.Stampede for Christmas of 2006 and Rustler for my b-day last week.

[Cynix]

Well I am in high schoo with no job and guess who bought mine I did I saved up and bought it.

[fixed]

kinda depends how you look at it....

I buy most of my stuff...and some things my parents buy, or give me an Advance..lol

[NStampede Freak]

I buy 98% of my stuff. It is really hard to without a job, but I manage.

[69Malibu]

all of my vehicles i bought myself. addition to supplying 3 others with traxxas vehicles. one got an emaxx, 1 got a rustler, other got a stampede. guy who got the maxx also got my fisrt bandit. it started life as an xl5 and is now becoming a very heavily modded machine.

[project_uno]

I pay 100% of mine. then again 2 jobs still can't afford it.

[hotrodMAXX]

i eventually pay for all of mine, i got my smaxx for xmas and then a rustler a sport and a HPI ive saved/worked for.
ive a had to borrey some cash now and then but it gets paid back to whom ever lent it.

[mac8175]

Well my grandma pays well for chores (mowing lawn etc.) and the old "i forgot my wallet" line works for repairs because my lhs is about 30 mins away but most of the time dad my picks parts up for me

[Revo Racer 16]

I bought my Revo 3.3. My b-day and Christmas are 1 month apart so at the end of the year I havequite a bt of money. After that, I do chores around the house to keep the hobby going

[rocky8333]

I has paper route. Get a paper route in a rich neighborhood. Then offer to clean their cars and mow their lawns, I make $400 a month during the summer doing it

[Maxx-Damage]

Generally my gram does, or i do with the little money i made. My rebuild was bought by me, like $200 in parts and it still isnt done.


But from Decemeber to last sunday i had a winter job working at the local mountain. Made about 2000 and putting that into a new mtb to try and race this summer.(and gram is giving me another 1500 for it also)

[31794ty]

My dad buys me a spur gear every once in a while. lol

[NitroRustler41]

i just quit my job, so my next upgrades for now are birthday dependent. luckily that time is comin up in june.


i bought my a-arms, aluminum shocktowers, aluminum bulkheads, all replacement stock parts, recharable reciever system, fuel, whels, tires, and a few other little parts my self. exhaust, intake, were gifts. along with the truck. i had to put about $100 of my own money into support equiptment and what not the day of buying my truck. i put a lot into this thing. i am proud of it. traxxas is awesome.

[RustlerRacer16]

Sounds like most of you pay your own way like me. I'm going to try to get a job at the new Hobby Town USA that just opened 20 minutes from my house to pay for the new T-Maxx 3.3!!

[KyLeader7]

i actualy have been starting to work on my neihbor's and surrounding kid's rc cars. (fixing them). so far i installed a spur on some car, like red cat or something. and fixed a tmaxx tranny. ogt 120 for it all!!

its rediculous.

the red cat kid i insisted his father not to pay me as i enjoy working on these things. but he did any way. (i even told him no joke 5 times nah man, its fine!!)

the other kid's father wanted it done in 2 days so he payed up alot lol!!

[CHEEZBURGER]

I bought my first Nitro before I was a teenager, I paid $500 for it, and I went around my whole neighborhood for months washing cars and mowing lawns, I also vacuumed houses, After I built the kit, I was heartbroken that it didn't come with an engine or radio gear, I asked the neighbor that I bought it from why he didn't tell me that it didn't come with that stuff, he had already planned on me getting upset and had an OS 12 and futaba radio gear for me! He said he got it because he couldn't believe that I saved the money up all on my own, that is the ONLY help I have ever gotten besides my wife spending my money on parts for Christmas that she got me

[RustlerRacer16]

I wish I could work on other people's cars. Nobody in Lugoff, South Carolina has a clue what nitro is, let alone know about any hobby cars.

[Martinarcher64]

I usually buy all mine. I did get the vxl pede for Christmas this year though. I buy all the upgrades.

[super cool heli]

i cut lawns and odd jobs around the house. i pay 99.9% of mine. the i forgot my wallet doesn't work!!! dad says" your out of luck then." he's were nice right? well he looks at it if everything is given to me then i have nothing i worked for. teachs you to respect things more cause it your own money. i have a problem respecting the curb!!!!! lol

[george16]

I bought mine from the money I saved after I quit smoking and drinking 10 years ago.

Well go buy the curb and you might respect it.
But trees, rocks, brick walls, bushes, mail box posts, and sometimes the neighborhod kids legs i have a problem respecting sometimes....

WOW....the neighborhod kids legs. what that about? you are a bad driver. i have a problem with the backhoe and kubota too. kudos to guy who stoped smoking and drinking.

[swimstud920]

i payed for my stampede, and 2.5 maxx, and everything i have done to them/got for them.

[OCD RC]

I forked out the cash for my stuff. However when I worked at the LHS i got store credit and cost for RC parts. Most of whats in my tmaxx I didn't pay one time for.

[aussiek2000]

my parents bought me the rustler for x-mas. i used the money i got for my ATV to buyy my t-maxx. and i help my parents around the house to help pay for other parts.

[Yonderwheels]
