This statement is wrong.

Kits and equipment cost the same as they did in 1987. 1/8th engines and computer driven radios have come up in price, tires are always a throw-away but every other thing has gotten higher in quality at the same price.

The RC racing industry has been dying since the mid-80's, I'm sure it'll be dying the same way in 20-30 years. Face it people, it's always going to be a small hobby, it'll never be in the Olympics or on ESPN primetime. It's a hobby.
