A new 710 would be around 800 for you, real stupid prices.
But what i think is that the Swedish Racing market is really small compared to the American market. Also, the "bashing" market in Sweden is amazingly big compared to the racing market, almost half of the population has a Kyosho Alpha or Maxx, kind of... therefor "cheap" bashers and EXPENSIVE racing cars..
So the racers do now buy most of their stuff from either USA, HK or UK
