I agree that the hobby suppliers have priced themselves out of the market. I mean, look at the cost of the toys we play with.... model airplanes that cost more than motorcycles or some cars. $3000 TX's, think about what you can buy in high end electronics, TV's, audio equip for $3k! Servo's that cost $200 for mickey mouse little $10 motors. It really is ridiculous, is it any wonder they are not doing well?
