Absolutely correct.

The cheapest graphite chassis is the Penguin 7500 for ~$55, and to make it as good as the "Pro" level car, you still need the ball diffs. (~$20 each) and an aluminum motor mount (~$10-$15). All of that amounts to over $200. Unfortunately I took the more expensive route with mine; it was originally a NT18 but I converted it to a M18, so I know exactly the cost involved.
