I think it's the opposite, too many people forgot it's a hobby, not a second job.
I like tweaking my car, but to a point. I have a full time job already. I left the 'hobby' over 8 years ago because it became too much and not fun.
Watching everyone turn comms every run, have turbo dynos so they could see what each little change did to the power.
It was supposed to be a fun hobby, not a money pit.
Reading this and other forums, why do you think the USVTA and Slash class are taking off? They are simple, cheap and FUN. Those two classes got me back into it. The part that's nuts- For my son and I, I'm spending less on those 2 classes then I did trying to run TC years ago.
It's a hobby, thats what too many people forgot.
