i totally agreed of what you were saying about the old days. Everything are getting cheaper right now.
But i have to admit one thing... i really missed the old school body like classic Porsches bodies, classic BMW M3, BMW 318i, etc. a whole bunch of stuff that was stopped making a while back. I wish i can get those by now but theyre very hard to find though. Im still trying to collect them.
By the way, im very much into on-road R/C cars than others.
