I stand corrected, so apologies for that.
Judging by the way I've seen off-road go, RTR may increase the quantity of racers, but has the opposite effect on quality. I love racing off-road, but find myself running on-road predominantly these days because the racing is better.
Think outside the box as much as you want, but again, locally we've had plenty of guys cross over to 1/12, most of who have bought their car/kit separate from electronics. I can't think of many who got into 1/12 specifically because they could find a ready to race assembled car.
