Interesting this.
I did wonder some time ago why my 2005/2006 B4 was so good, told all new club members to get one, was a bit
as there new cars seemed to break at even the site of a track marker. In the end I only put it down to the fact I don't crash much (honest) and when I do I know its all going wrong thus tend not to be at full throtel, but this thred explains some of the low speed silly breakages
I also must say that after 25ish years in the hobby I think MOST manufacturers have done a very good job of keeping the running costs down, Looking back at old RC mags the price of an RC10 then and now is fantastic
. motors speedos the same, altho a brushless motor is a lot more, look at the maintanance and life expectancy? same with most lipos.
BUT
I'm not sure how a cougar can be close to the price of an SX
The X6's etc are just way too much with the doner Imo
And the 1/8th durango is going to be £480ish, so how come the 10th one costs so much
.
And as for some radio transmitters
And tyre prices Hmmm
worst thing I ever bought was an AE tee shirt (blue) low quality high price sh*t
didn't last long, and was only worn on race days
