Ohhhhhhh I missed it...
At least your parents spent it, not you..:rolleyes:

[maxmanstpro]

My first R/C car was a Maximum ST Pro that i had gotten at my local pawn sop. The sales lady said that some guy who had bought the truck pawned it because he worked to much run it.
I only paid $275 for it and that included a whole galon of fuel, a bunch of extra baterries, and alot of tools.

[JerryL]

M 5,
My thoughts exactly as I sure couldn't have afforded that buggy on my allowance. ;)
