Like I said, plenty of motors under $400, and speaking from experience, as fast and more reliable.

Guys, some of you may have been around 1/8 onroad in the early nineties so you would remember how expensive tires and engines were back then (at least in Australia), not to mention the price of the car kit!!!
Now coming back to rc 17 years later i have really been surprised that the majority of items are actually quite a bit cheaper now than back then. Not too many things in this world get less expensive over nearly 20 years!:) Tires were about the same though, maybe even a bit more expensive. |

Why are thes prices goin through the roof. I mean if I want a premium tire like Capricorn or tabata or contact or zac. Etc. The price is like 28 to 34 bucks. Privateer price. Insane. Motors too. Do they need to be 700 plus. Ridiculous. Manufacturers are killing the sport. Just my opinion.

I have the top of the line Flash Tuned Special from last year in my shop for €429, down from €545 last year. You think anybody wants that engine? Nooooo. Every average driver, who can't even use the power of these engines anyways needs the newest, meanest and baddest 2011 engine, and they are willing to shell out another €110 for the PTS. And those are the people that are always complaining how expensive this hobby is. As I said before, they can only charge, what we are willing to pay |
I don't think all the 2011 engines are expensive, from what I have seen the LL3/11 and the Kanga look cheaper than earlier years pricing?.

That's exactly what I said in my earlier post. Problem is, that very few people think they can win with an LL3 (dates back to 2004) or a Kangaroo which dates back to the worlds in Australia. |
I saw someone going plenty fast with an 'old' LL3 recently, fast enough to make me realize it will be a long time before I personally need something more than a new version myself.
Not that I'll be doing much more 10th nitro till the MTX5 comes out, till then I'll play with my near new T1, which is not like a dog or anything, I was not doing so bad with it in my MTX4R last time out. This sport/hobby is only overly expensive if you insist on buying beyond what you can in theory afford, or need... |
