I'm a recent returnee after a hefty 20+ year layoff. As you say, motors and LiPo's make maintenance a lot easier, but have also increased speeds by a fairly considerable amount, which is great, but also isn't great.
Y'see, back in the olden days my reactions and eyesight were pin sharp. I won championships and everything! But now? My reactions and eyesight are much duller and the cars are much faster. The result is a bit of a mess really. I drive like a numpty now. Overshoot corners, can't get jump distances right (no jumps in my day) and generally make all the mistakes I used to try and teach newcomers not to make in the eighties.
But, d'you know what? I'm loving it!
Get stuck in and have a laugh...
