having worked in a sales environment before i know that the biggest margins come from the largest consumables.
in the case of RC racing its tires
The margins on tires must be huge! it cant possibly cost that much for a set of small thin rubber tires with bumps on.
and for the most popular tires there is no middle man to deal with as they are ordered direct from source and ordered in bulk.
Not saying its wrong that the margins on tires are so high, keeps people in jobs
but i don't have to like it.
because as a racer with a very small budget. £30(ish) every month to 2 months for new tires for 2 cars is effectively eating up my racing budget
