Default Heresy

I spoke the heresy of suggesting that an RTR 1/12 scale pan car could bring new blood to the class, I knew it would get some people worked up and personally I wish that RTR's would kindly go away. Unfortunately if that happened about half of the people in RC today would probably stick with their Playstation instead of coming out to race. I guess that overall a good RTR (which is an oxymoron) would be an easy way for people on the fence to get a foot in the door. Just a thought, it will never happen anyway so for good or bad the purity of 1/12 scale racing is safe from the roving horde of casual racers. Just remember that sometimes casuals turn into life-long RC racers and enthusiasts, I know because I am one of them.
