timmay70;
Your points were worded excellently. I'm in full agreement (if that's worth anything for you to know)
I'll never forget the magazine ad done by S & K back in the mid 90's -
"Now, you can race a real Thunderbird Stock Car at over 400 mph for only $300 !!" It was for a pathetically executed RTR el-cheapo fiberglass plate, no-suspension pan car. They even put it in Car & Driver and Racer magazines. Kind of embarrassing for the whole rc industry. Hey Soviet -
there's your snake oil.
