If the engines weren't so bad the tires would eat you alive. $400 a set and Id go through about 2 sets a race day.
I guess if you look at it on a scale level RC is almost as bad.
$400 for a set of tires... I tracked full scales cars and spent 2K$ on a used set of track tires. But that was before I met my wife, so using that excuse as a way to justify what I'm doing now doesn't work so well.
