Default a few questions

so i kinda wanna get out of nitro and into electric. my hobby shop offered me $100 for my old HPI RS4. so 1/10 seems kinda expensive so 1/18 came to mind...but:

- is 1/18 really just for kids? and not really taken seriously?
- does no one here drive mini RS4's? and why are there so few 1/18 models in the first place?
- is it really cheaper?

stuff just gets smaller and smaller... there are lots of adults into 1/18 and 1/28 now, you'd be surprised...

the average age of 13-16, on average, don't take the cars seriously. those who do race them regularly, are older.
