I don't think the problem is the motor prices....Look at it this way.....A few years back,when we were all running Kyosho spyders and and HPI's....with all the hop ups,you still had cars that cost in the 700 to 1,000 range....Today,you could buy any of the pro chassis's,run a stock OS TR,and still have a faster car than those,and be under 5 or 6 hundred with radio gear...
In the Spyder and HPI days, you NEEDED to spend money on the cars to be competetive and also just to keep the car together.
It's the same with engines. Our "A" main is filled with very good drivers WITH $300+ engines and a OS TR aint going to cut it. Everyone want's to be or get to the "A" main but it WILL cost you and not many are willing to pay the price.
Well......... gotta get to work!
