Cost Factors With Various R.C. Models (Part 1)
To get a frank opinion on the same it is always better to ask people with various demographic backgrounds who essentially have a different taste and choices. This makes easier to know the real pros and cons of any choice. Those who feel passionately may have prejudices over their opinion and may not tell the cons too frankly. Similarly those who prefer not to agree may prefer to overlook the pros of a model.
In the end you should have all sorts or opinion about each category or model and the final choice should always be your own that makes your feel comfortable, suits your budget, is easier for you to handle and costs you less maintenance. You should not make your choices just because someone else prefers to choose it and then may be you are not comfortable with it later on.
The foremost criterion for any one to go in for an investment for a hobby is the cost. The budget needs to be fixed. As such electric kits come fall in the less expensive category for initial investment. Although they give most enjoyment but one ends up paying more for the battery packs, battery chargers, accessories, etc. This in the long run means that you have more stuff for maintenance later on and it also means that the recurring costs for the same are substantial. With some time gap the total investment in part ends up to paying equivalent to a Nitro pack.
