Rcluv,

It is a trick question at this point. Depending on the metal/plastic model you choose to go with it can range from as little as 400.00 for plastic and much more than that for the metal (wedico) type models. Thas is ofcourse just for the truck itself...then you have to have your radios (tx) recievers (rx) and any other hop ups/ upgrades that you may do.... so in the interest of trying to keep the cost down.... I will give you what I feel is a safe estimate ( what I have spend this month alone building my first truck and I have cut a few corners) you are looking at between 700 and 800 minimum..... I am at 1400.00 and have not even ran the truck yet..... like I said though I have cut a FEW corners.....not all.... hopped up motor, upgraded ESC, batteries chargers etc.....hope this rambling session helped

Michael
