I mean C'mon I'm having a hard time getting over spending $360 just a ESC AND MOTOR.
Does anyone else feel like this hobby is starting to over price the fun factor?
Yes, kind of....if you're a guy that wants the best of the best. Too many guys with more money than brains in this hobby that buy whatever cool aid their fav driver is selling on the cover of the rc mag. It's what's allowing the market to charge what they charge. You want all that stuff that you listed above....hey, that's your issues.
Here is how you have fun in this hobby....
Used sc10-100 shipped
Used Stock spec SP and 17.5-80
4 40c hard cased 4000mah from HK-80
HK charger. 40
300 dollars......I had less than that in my slash and had the time of my life...
