Re: Is this hobby dying in the US?
I just purchased my first Semi Kit. I have been wanting one ever since I was little. I am most likely one of the youngs members here.
Locally there is very little support for this part of the RC hobby. They are big into the scalers but thats about it.. I went to the Twin Cities a few months back and stopped at their hobby store. Much to my suprise they had a number of semi kits and trailers in stock.
As people have said before, I think the big hold back is the costs and the availablity of parts. This is not a cheap hobby, you could easily spent 1,100 + on the tractor alone if you wanted. I am a little suprised that there are not as many companies into this besides Tamiya.
