Guess this is where some of the recent technological advances should come in. If someone can produce a full brushless + lipo + spektrum RTR package for a good price then you have removed the effort of motor maintenance, changing crystals and changing cells.
I would imagine a brushless/spektrum/lipo B4 RTR with a geared diff could get close to what the 'plug & play' generation demand from an RC car.
