This is a cool thread and it is cool to see all the pros on here talking. To me this is a sport also, I raced motocross for 11 years and I get just as pumped racing RC as I did racing motocross and I dont know that many toys that cost $1000's and $100's on race day to be competitive. I lived in AZ and was always like how does Maifield have that killer new Truck New House, 4 wheelers travels the world and country, money all the time and he races RC and then you see all the time he puts in to his racing and you will see why. Even Cav he lives in So Cal Irvine and rent at a small apt cost me $1000 a mounth so there are a few that make money and I am glad because I like showing up at the track and it looking like a Sport with the factory tents and the factory drivers, it's just cool.
