New to this, How expensive is this hobby?
Hello,
As a beginner, how much will I probably find myself spending? I see some models online for around $10,000... Is that average? Or high end? What would good beginner stuff cost? Any help is appreciated! |

Welcome to the site... Figure a base king hauler kit is 350-400 add in 200 for a radio. 150 for electronics. That's if you buy new.
If you search eBay you can get the whole package used for around 500-600 |

I'll let others chime in, but from what I gather some people have built bruder conversions from roughly $800 and up. The sky is the limit for how much you want to spend.
There are kits for every level, some come as parts, others pre assembled. Its best to look at some of the post and to follow for a while to determine what you want. |

excavators or other construction equipment is a whole diffrent can of worms. I persoanly don't own any but there is so many different options and opinions on what works best. from what I have seen if you want a reliable set up that can lift and move dirt like the real machines its going to cost some big $$$ just to get started. Bruder conversions are on the cheep end of builds nothing wrong with them but if you plan on converting all the plastic parts to metal you will be better off just buying a metal machine to start with. It seams with these machines plan on spending 2k - 4k just to get started.
