Sorry totally disagree with costs. I think it has got CHEAP in terms of cost and inflation.
Kits have remind fairly low, you can run a meeting on one lipo (£30 to £90 new) instead of old Nimh's (£45 min and you'd need 5 sets at least. Spares are VERY low as well. So cost IMHO is NOT the issue.
Technology is the issue and also lazy parents. As said above, consul generation (although we had them in 1990
).
I'd be very interested to see some costs of purchases in 1990 as I cant remember what race fees and kits truely cost.
