Default RC Products with Highest Markup or Profit Margin ??

What are the RC products with the highest mark-up or profit margin?

I am guess it is the "factory pro tools" like anodized wrench sets and such.

A close second would be foam tires.

Well one could argue that the markup on matched packs are justified due to the personal labor required to match cells, and scarcity of top performing cells.

Yea... but in Japan the mark up for a top notch SMC pack will cost you about 13500Yen or about 130$ ... talk about margin

I work at a hobby shop and see the prices that the store pays for transponders, and we pay $80.00 for them, the mark up really isnt that much.
