I think this is aimed at the people who have money, but lack the skills to make anything. After hanging around the hobby shop for a while I would see people come in with simple repairs that they could fix themselves, but pay the techs to do it for them. Most of the people on this forum (save for Teaxsp) are mechanically inclined and can do their own repairs.

To some, the thought of cutting their radio tray (I have to use a saw on my "hobby" grade rc?) and making a small part here or there is too much. I enjoy the build process the most, but I have made stuff from scratch my whole life, and have great manual dexterity (I am also a snazzy dresser!). I feel bad for the people who lack the skills to really enjoy the r/c hobby... but I guess that everyone cannot be a great as I am...

In some ways it's great because it allows any John Doe to join in the fun easily - sorta like the Nitro RTRs - and drive a decent quality e-RTR. I'm sure many people just want a rc car they can play with and not spend as much time obsessing over as we do.

But, in another way it will definitely deminish the WOW! factor of the creations we have been building for the past few years.

At least they're not packaging it with a so-so servo and piece-o-cr@p radio system that you have to pay for and then rip out.

Yep, same price as the Kyosho MP9

Losi Kit $430
BL Kit $100
ESC/Motor $320
It is pretty much the same as just converting one though but then there is the body and probably other little things

Losi 8ight
MMM V1 w/1.20
Airtronics MX3 2.4Ghz
TP 5S 5000mah
Neu 2.5D/F
