LHS only carry main brands, 1/8 engines are expensive with high maintenance fees, track is fewer and fewer.

many people are scared away by these factors.
That is because most people can not think clearly. There are much affordable engines to be used but no, people always want to have the most expensive thinking they can get the fastest laptimes.

A nice example:

Can be bought for just arround 170 euro....
Also the RB Classico is a nice cheap screamer.
Also run a fuel with a bit more oil and you will notice it in the lifespan.

And beside that, if you agree to uses a some kind of stockmotor you even can use a cheap Force engine or a 120 dollar Picco Stock.....
