yah...r/c have gotten soo expensive now...they're like $400 for a base model...the wrx kit is pretty cool though real workin awd...someday when i have money to spare
i used to race r/c years ago. however my models were quite a bit different than the ones they have now. i still have my cars though and they work great and are alot of fun. i have a 1991 bolink eliminator pro and a team associated rc10. i'd really love to get an r/c plane or even better a helicopter, but if you think cars are pricey, a good heli can go for $2000.
