Default RE: Does the hobby really need to be cheaper?

I'd say this is high end...$575 and you still need:

Big Block Nitro Engine
Tuned Exhaust System
2 Channel Radio System and 8AA Batteries
High Torque Steering & Brake Servo's (2)
6V Receiver Battery
Glow Driver
Starter Box & Batteries
Nitro Fuel & Fuel Bottle
Paint for Polycarbonate Body
Charger for Receiver Pack & Starter Box Batteries

And you could add this $530 engine:

And this $170 pipe:

Havn't even added a spread-spectrum radio with servos yet...

So...is TBJ worried there isn't enough of this type of stuff being offered? There must be other equally expensive offerings out there....maybe even more expensive.
