In real terms i would say that rc racing is reasonably cheap today compared to 1990/91.
A schumacher procat back then was £175 with the works yokomo dogfighter pushing £275 in 4wd, and in 2wd you were looking at the RC10 team £199, or kyosho triumph £199.
A top of the range tekin 420 esc would knock you back £137 and i paid £250 for my field force 3 without servo`s. Trinity 1700 SCE cells cost £45 each (x six packs )and you were lucky if you got 5 mins racing out of them, so compared to then i think we are quite well off.
