Radio Control Car Price Rises
I learned from my local hobby store (Reality Racing) yesterday, about the latest increases in UK prices for Radio Control Cars…
For example, the HPI E-Savage RRP is now £324.99! That’s a huge increase from £249.99. And a massive amount more than I paid when it was in his sale just after Christmas!
The weakness of Sterling is really hitting the hobby in the UK at the moment, so much is more expensive, as pretty much everything we use is made outside of these shores. It’s impacting how people are racing too, often choosing slower classes to save ongoing maintenance and tyre costs. I personally am planning only a limited number of touring car race meetings through the year, probably a local club championship, and a regional champtionship.
The majority of my week in week out racing will continue to be with the Tamiya Mini, which is cheap and cheerful. And of course I’ll continue bashing with my E-Savage, which is great, as I can get my RC fix without having to wait for a race day.
