Great point Joe. Another thing to consider is the fact that the high-end models don't seem to devaluate much over time if they are taken care of so you can always sell them later and recoup some money should you need or want to...

You'll need tires too, the ones on the model are hard plastic.

Priorites i know and have them intact, i dont smoke barely drink once maybe every 3 months.it just sucks since trying to do it all and i hate being patience on certain things, but other things can have all patience in the world for.

Re: wanting r/c construction equipment
 

I dont know where the Problem is.
I have been waiting for 20 years and see my 4 Children grow up before I could afford my first Tamiya King Hauler.

And that was not what I wanted.
My Dream was a Wedico Conventional since I was 20.

So be patient and save some Money for the Hobby.

Or you buy a Cheap Shotgun and search for a Bank.....:cop:

Re: wanting r/c construction equipment
 

I was in the same boat with the kids deal and scraped by but i always saved a little for the rc hobby which was boats car/trucks and helis at the time..you only live once ..People spend so much more on real boats harleys motorhomes and whatever and I see complaints about these prices of our RC stuff ..Nobody likes to work for free or less $10 bucks an hour..Maybe we should start a thread about " Cheap afordable junky construction machines to get you feet wet " No offence

Re: wanting r/c construction equipment
 

hey if u have a 401k is a good way to get money without pain. thanks to that i have 9 trucks and some other stuff.

Re: wanting r/c construction equipment
 

Everyone has a budget, everyone has different amounts of interest, and a whole lot of other variables!!! I say everyone should start with bruder conversions, and tymia trucks!!! They are the most reasonable way for you to find out how interested you are in a hobby!!! I wouldn't want to go buy a real piece of equipment for thousands of $ with no heavy equipment experience, or a CDL!!! You have to start small and work your way up!!! I'm not going to go burn $5,000-8,000 on a RC and let it sit on the shelf because I was not as interested as I thought, I'm going to start with the bruder and tymia route and then if I get big into the hobby, then I might scratch build, or buy high end stuff!!! That's just my opinion, not the only way to get into the hobby, just the way I want to do it!!!

Re: wanting r/c construction equipment
 

I may have been a little premature to label the lower end stuff Junk ..I have seen some great bruder and hobby engine conversions on here and would be happy own one of those machines ..The bottom line is that what ever $$$$ you spend on these machines im sure you will enjoy it ..I myself am truly am hooked :)
