Default RE: Does the hobby really need to be cheaper?
Back in 1982 I bought my first REAL rc... a tamiya Grasshopper with one 6-cell nicad, two channel stick, and a charger. $230!! Lot of mowing & snow shoveling for that one. Same setup today (I'm sure with better components) is $165 at Tower.

Now glow fuel on the other hand...........annoyingly expensive. Makes Lipo's look really good!
