1/5th scale is poised to see a MAJOR reduction in pricing. I saw in a magazine that some companies are going to be releasing $500-$600 1/5th scales. Give it a couple of years and I'd be willing to be others will follow suit as well to remain competitive. 1/5th scale is going to be a big part of the future of this hobby and I can only see the prices falling on these things as they become cheaper to produce, etc.[8D]
