    I got into RC in the early 2000’s. Sort of a transition time. There is no comparison, today’s RC scene is way better. It’s due to lipo, brushless motors, radios, telemetry, easy to order parts, and cost.

    First that is retail price it would cost a fortune to build a xmaxx from just parts so that is nonsense about the price next is there are the original parts that are not put on to build this so where is the deduction in price for the factory parts they did not install its not like you get a bag of original parts so the price is way over inflated. I would rather see them fix the body popping off and the dang thing folding in half in the back actually fix problems not throw shiny parts on and call it new

    hey Brett You forgot one very important part. the dust cover to cut down a lot of cleaning time on the Xmaxx.

    Rc was better because it wasn't a endless money pit and there was less rules and more flexibility , now you can't do anything w out spend a fortune. Rc is competing with gaming and unless we wake up and reform the classes, promote the hobby and really cut the stupidity and the idea that you can milk people we are lost... Isn't only the money of the kit, engine/exhaust and electronics is also the price of keeping the tracks full with glue, tires, hotels, restaurants, everything associated with a race .
