this is exactly right, I have done this aswell. I have sold off all nimh batts and equipment, brushed motors and equipment, and now only have one lipo running a 13.5t and am spending more time on setup and practice instead of motors and charging/discharging batts. expenses are now HALF what they were. the biggest expense I have is now are the race fees

Add that with brushless and you really have a level and competitive playing field that is inviting for others looking to jump in. No more speed tricks, just good driving and chassis set-ups.
