in my eyes there is quite a few factors that put people off, a few of these have been mentioned, first being the appeal from manufactures such as durango, i was 14 when i first started and could never afford a car such as a durango, never mind a tamiya, my budget only just got me a rtr blitz (this is also where my love of ansmann cars comes from, purely for their cheap price but still competitive), for anyone who cant drive such as people like me then transport is a issue, my local club is about half a hour away, luckily there is 1 or 2 people that race at the club who live near by who i can get a lift with, price of equipment can be a issue, when i first started all i knew was brushless was better and the lower the turns the faster and shocks require oil, i stupidly thought engine oil would do, but when i asked people what i should get i was told speed passion and tekin and such brands that cost more than my car was worth, these are a few issues that i had.
