Well, some folks aren't into buying a new car everytime one come out. It isn't about "going retro" more than keeping more folks racing. I have two T-bar 1/12th scales and could not race them due to the "LiPo only" rules. I could not justify buying another car due to being deep into other classes. So, if $65 dollars can put another competitor into the class instead of $220+, would you rather have more or less competitors to race against?
