Cost is the driver here. What a real time perspective this would be for the “engineer”! http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=858566
Mike;
Whew! Yeah, the price is up there. You could purchase a really nice (sparky) locomotive for less. The bright side is that if or when this idea really catches on, prices should start to come down, just like the latest and greatest electronics do once the novelty wears off. I don’t have a flat screen TV yet, the old one still works just fine, but I’m sure that I will pay a lot less for a flat screen TV when I do get it than when the idea was brand new.
Best,
