You guys got me all wrong. I wasnt being a dick about it, more like it was comical seeing everyone freak.
I talked to Joe after he posted here.
I think he wonders why he comes on the websites because of the banter before and after. Take what I said with a grain of salt. as I said befor it wasnt inteded towards everyone.

Ohh and yes I did read the whole thread. ever last word!
The DTX wasnt that bad, it was a cheap version made by O.S. specifically for the Duratrax.
and it was better than those japan made engines.
You can mod those to do something crazy in speed by the way. I know this because I have raced many Associated's with it and left them going oooh!
and just as Joe mentioned before. about the whole price tag! They expect to sell large quanities of them. That is what drives the price down. Im sure if you could buy a LOSI 8ight in walmarts and get the same quality, they would be cheaper too.
There is a possibilty that Horizon may just humor that possibility as I have heard through the grape vine.
Not an 8ight, but a lessor RC that would be more customer orientated.
