I was browsing through RC Planet website looking at what they offer and if they had any good articles. I then started looking at their offering of RC cars and on the left hand column where the filters were, one filter stood out to me, the one with powerplants. When I first started with RC cars back in the 90's there were not a lot of electric RC cars, now the overwhelming amount of RC cars are electric. When looking at the nirtros almost all started at around 300 bucks or more. Electrics are offering both more variety as well as better price.
As an older person this reminds me of when digital cameras came around. Before them, you had to by a roll of film, load it in the camera, take pictures, take the roll of film to the local pharmacy where they usually had a film department that would develop the film and get it back to you in a few days. Watching how that changed over the years was amazing. Even our phones now, pay phones used to be everywhere to make phone calls, they are no where to be found now. Seeing the switch over to electric RC reminds me how technology changes our choices and our lives. Enough of the history lesson...
