Yeah my bike cost about 3000 total, my point is that no one is going to buy a fully upgraded RC it would cost to much for the price of entry for the average person. It is the same for bikes, entry level 800 but if you want really good 2000 to 5000 but if you want fully loaded it can go high as 10,000. My point is if the RC and mountain bike world only built fully upgraded RC and mountain bikes they would go out of business because it is the entry and mid level that keeps the money coming in for the industry.
