Well since a sedan sized body has cost us the same for the past ten years, I'm fine with the manufacturers making a little more profit now.
And on the scale realism thing. I dont race a model of a race car, it is an actual race car. If I wanted a replica, I'd check out something in the Tamiya line. I have never seen any purpose built R/C race car 1/8th scale or smaller look anything like their full size counterpart. I am fine with that.

Think about this. $50 and you can claim one of the top 3 guys battery, $35 and you can claim their motor. I think it would be up to individual clubs to set their own prices and get this up and running, but it would keep people from running $75 packs at local races.

Im sure it will take a while for Protoform to recoupe some of the money they spent on License fee's the past few years.
