How much $ have you spent on Hop-Ups?

[agm130]

I just wondering how much everyone has spent? In hop-ups?

I'm up to $400 now. Just bought the Hot Bodies Alum Shocks?
I didn't want to, but they were just too pretty!

I've spent about $300 thus far, though once I get back from vacation I plan on spending more for those alum. shocks and maybe alum. uprights.

Here did you guys find to buy that much stuff??? I mean I could be called Sir Breaks A Lot but I have only shelled out less than $100 on my savage and have yet to really break it and have had it do some serious bashing that would have had my t-maxx out for repairs for a few weeks but the only thing broken thus far was a defective driveshaft. I know I have done it now and my savage will be broken next time I run, maybe another close encounter with a BMW.....

El Pirata,

I've bought thus far:

- Ofna Hyper 8 port engine
- Hot Bodies Billet Aluminum Heat Sink Engine Mount
- Hot Bodies Billet Aluminum Heat Sink Engine Plate
- Hot Bodies Heavy Duty Composite Clutch Shoes
- Hot Bodies Tuned Pipe
- HPI high performance air filter
- CVEC .21 Tuned Pipe
- Racers Edge stiff Anti-Roll antenna

And I still have a lot more planned for this beast. Right now I'm looking for titanium front, center, and rear skid plates, but haven't found anyone that makes them.

As of right now the majority of my parts are coming from Extreme RC Motor Sports I VERY HIGHLY recommend checking this site out, Edward's service is by FAR the best I have seen yet, and his prices are very good...in fact I find his prices cheaper then most other places!!!
