RE: Beginners Setup Prices
It is impossible to compare prices in the US against prices in Australia. Hopefully, some of the Australian modellers will pick up on your post and advise you on whether or not those are reasonable prices. Good luck.
I would also suggest you post a separate question about the engine in the glow engine section and once you have have response from Australians there broaden the thread to include your other questions.
