Bashing is the largest market, it doesn't just offer the ultimate free spirit of the hobby its the most affordable. Bashing is bound by no limits and safety is its only guide line. It offers the ultimate experience the HOBBY has to offer.
Funny you mention that. I found racing to be far cheaper for me than racing. However I only participate in club racing in SoCal. When I first started I only bashed, and ALWAYS broke parts. Now if I crash, its usually because someone hit me or I pushed too hard, but planted the vehicle into soft dirt or large PVC pipe instead of a concrete curb or tree. For larger races, it gets much more expensive. It all depends on how one plans on using the vehicle and how serious they become. However, I believe your statement is true that the largest market is bashers.
