whether people read it or not I dont know....usually there is more then one thread at a time asking pretty much the same question....as far as asking people what they are looking to do or how much they are willing to spend does it even matter?...alot of times people post they want to spend say $300...then when people start naming of rc's $300 or less someone always comes on and says you dont want them and suggests say a $700 rc...

I try to name rc's that are below the price people post they are willing to spend unless they are in the hobby already and already have the supporting equipment they will need (I should say want) to run their rc (tools, ignitors, chargers, batteries, fluids, oils, etc).... all this costs money and if you dont clarify that more money will need to be spent, the new person to the hobby doesnt know...a good mislead is electric...sure alot of rtr's come with everything but transmitter batteries....but they usually come with one battery (a small one at that) and a charger they will have to wait for like 8 hrs to charge the battery to run 10 min.. wow loads of fun there...
