It's all marketing, and it's what is keeping them from including decent batteries. They are known for only selling RTR and being a beginner-friendly brand. Many people want the "all-in-one-box" setup and be done with it, and the sticker shock of adding a decent set of lipos and charger would kill them. Not to mention the horror stories of puffed and exploded lipos when people don't properly take care of them because they haven't done any research.

I'm not saying it's right, I think they shouldn't offer the MMM setups at all, but it's all marketing, and it seems to be working whether we like it or not.
