I do kind of laugh when people complain about the cost these days. We used to pay $60-80 per pack and could only use them once per week and we got less than a season out of them. If you were going to 3-4 big races per year, you were spending $1000+ on batteries to have a couple new ones at each race.
Ya see I couldn't spend a freaking grand on just batts in a year, thats where I would just say "screw this hobby" and Im sure most people would feel the same at that point. Thats some extreme dedication, and thats coming from the guy with a $2000 Kraton EXB as his avatar lolololol
