I have been into the hobby grade rcs for only 20 years, and I love the changes over the years, it's progress and I like tech stuff too. I don't miss my mechanical speed control, brushed motor and 6cell nicd pack that gave me a 3 minute run time. Just accept and enjoy the progress. I just got 3 TSM receivers and they only add to the fun. Now let's add some collision avoidance sensors and jump stabilizers, lol.
In all the hobby gets faster and more exciting and I welcome the advancements.
