This was part of what got me into the hobby because relatively it's so affordable. Of course that was before I learned about things like the MCD Supercar RC Sparks just built and have now realized you can bankrupt yourself in RC too if you try hard enough!In my opinion it's because of the "relatively" low cost. Yes you can spend thousands on an RC car, but with those thousands your RC car is DECKED out to the max. Now spend thousands on a 1:1 race car, or motocross, or home upgrades, or take your pick, and you'll barely be getting started. RC's are cheap enough to mentally justify spending the money whenever you feel like it, but expensive enough to bug you.
It's all relative, I just read someone recently say the equestrian world makes our RC's look like a yo yo hobby, and that is so true.
