RTR's saved the hobby, so don't bash 'em. There is something to be said for being able to buy a car and have it running in the time it takes to charge the battery. Plus some people can't justify spending all that money and also having to spend an evening or two of their free time assembling it(After they catch the bug they can, but not before). Plus some little bits of many kits can be frustrating as hell if you don't have the experience to know how to deal with it, like e-clips, assembling shocks, etc.
