Real race cars don't just work "out of the box" and last forever without maintenance, repairs, and learning how they go together and work. RC's entail input - that's what makes them different from toys afaic. People can see things differently of course, but I anyway want no part of that dumbed down approach to the hobby. And that "argument" for electric - that it's supposedly plug and play and so easy, and requires no maintenance or repairs or learning curve (in addition to being patently false)is just that - a dumb approach to the hobby. RC is not a video game with a reset button or a toy to throw away when something breaks.
