Trust me; I know all about those damn nitro trucks being money pits. Let me show you what I did to mine:

Thats a couple THOUSAND spent right there. That was a true lesson learned right there.

In terms of flying anything R/C, I admire anyone that can do that. I had one plane that I flew for about 25 seconds once. It saw nothing but ground after that. It takes true skill to do that stuff. Theres an R/C airplane field right up the road from my house; Ive never made it there to actually watch them but driving by its always packed with people flying their stuff.

I'm 20. I've worked since I was 14 though. I currently go to school full time, majoring in communication with a minor in business. I work 20 hours a week as a bank teller, and than an additional 15 hours on the weekend at a hardware store. So with all that, a few credit cards and student loans, along with living with my parents id say I have it good. I pay for everything myself except for food and housing.
