As with any manufactured product the price reflects how many are made. If you call up Imco and order 500K SCX-4's I bet you will see a significant reduction in cost.

Good point but its still not fair! :poopoo:

Yeah but either way the outdrives do not last as long as they should, cost as low as they should, etc etc.

There are a lot of good points brought up but if everyone knew what it cost Mercury to make the XR compared to what it cost you would, you would, well, be at a loss of words like I am.

I heard a ridiculous number from John and the Bravo Shop, and from a friends Dad who is pretty high up employee at Mercury. Not fair to spread numbers and rumours that I have not seen with my own eyes, but now coming from 2 reliable and Honest sources the cost numbers are so low its not even funny.

Use your imagination and believe whatever number you guess, then get really upset at Mercury! :lolhit:

Worst part is that the XR gears USED to hold up better when they were forged by a different company!

Imco is trying to make a Decent product at an affordable price

Arneson is making a great product at an overall good bang for the buck

X-Power is trying to make the best product but for a price that rivals Mercury Racing

Konrad makes an excellent upgrade to a TRS for almost a fair price

B-Max is making a great upper and decent lower for affordable price

But it would be NICE if all the prices were lower and the products even better! :party-smiley-004:
