To only make 30 to 50 bucks on 400 bucks sucks in terms or time put in to make so little.

I don't even run for Marty or even know him but I will say it is easy to see they guy likes to do this, why else would he put up with it to make so little.

Lets face it Marty has a better chance to get rich by playing the lottery than by venturing into the R/C car market. It was alot easier 20 years ago to do well in the R/C industry because we had way less companies to buy from and not near as many cars to choose from back in the day. It is harder than ever these days to make it in the little niche of R/C cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
