You expect way too much, geesh. You can't buy other equivalent 5th scales from say HPI, MCD, FG for 700 bucks. As others pointed out, the 700 bucks for a RTR is approaching the top end of the 8th scale range.
Frankly you won't see many roller chassis out there unless its for a race vehicle; no one sells enough of them, except in the race segment, to make it worth their while. Companies such as Redcat are more oriented towards the RTR crowd, and the junk they toss in for the controller/batteries/motor/receiver/transmitter is usually very cheap, though it may work ok for awhile, and makes up on a small portion of the price.
