+1 I see the same thing. Also don't forget offroad buggy tires are NOT cheap, a set of good tires will run you 50$ easy and are good for 1 to 2 weekends from what I understand.
We demand performance, that costs money to engineer.

Pretty soon the dollar will be worth as much the peso!
Just check out 5 year trend of euro and yen versus dollar. Dont need a degree in economics to see that rc racing is going to continue to get more expensive.

Onroad vs Offroad prices has more to do with volume and what market will tolerate.
Good luck selling a 700$ offroad engine but I bet you could sell a 2000$ onroad engine.
