Definitely not - 1/10 scale Nitro onroad remote control car racing is!

You can only race on specific tracks, many of which are closed the majority of the time and race meets occur more often than not on a monthly basis.

I was in to it in a big way for a while before i had a realisation that the money i was spending didn't equate to the enjoyment i was getting.

.......I must say though, my 'realisation' came a few minutes after my car lost connection with my controller causing it to run head on into a wall at around 90km/h at the end of the straight.....new front end and CF chassis required at a cost of a little over $1k.......this was a follow up to a crash the month prior where i spent $600 replacing the RHS front/rearwheel mounting hardware following another crash! Both the above 'drives' lasted under a minute from memory........so lets call it $13 a second for the 'fun' I was having.

Many would say it was lack of skill........but i was one of the better drivers!
