I wasn't referring to new comers to the hobby getting a K8 as their very first rig. Those are the lost souls. I am sure they exist.
I was referring to many hobbyists, mostly some with limited experience in 1/10 and 1/8 who have never experienced 1/5 scale before and find the K8 as their first 1/5 to be a bear to deal with. Thus the crying. And Arrma being a company with a good pricepoint draws many newcomers that have a learning curve going.
On the other end, I feel the hard core 1/5 guys are not drawn to the K8 in flocks. Just an observation keeping things in perspective.
1/5 scale is in a different realm.
I pose a question:
How many K8 guys here on AF alone, also own and have experience with other 1/5 scale electric or gas rig brands?
I would venture to say very few. ???
I am not including the TraxassssX-Max in this equation. That doesn't count here in my book.
