Do not bother if you're not prepared to spend $2000 to get going.
I think that is a little much. I am ashamed to say it, but I got started in 1/8 with a $75 8ight RTR roller. I added decent electronics which one servo needed to be replaced and same with radio, but I got started for about $500 to see if I liked it. Now.....I dont want to know how much I have spent to get quality equipment to where I am now, probably $1,000 extra. But, it is alot better than spending $2,000 and not liking it.
