How can you get better bang for your buck. You don't have to pay another $50 - $100 for a transponder plus the initial cost of the vehicle.

I'm gonna break this one down nice and slow for ya because clearly I'm not the one who needs a math lesson.
$2000 is high, but getting into dnano is still clearly cheaper.
- Team Associated RC8RS Race Spec RTR Buggy $500
- AMB Transponder $100
- Nitro Fuel $90
Total: $690
-Dnano RTR (includes chassis, body, battery, charger, and 2.4ghz transmitter) $280
-RCP Mini-96 $200
-Timing System $175
Total: $655
690 - 655 = $35
The timing system isn't totally compulsory either. You could save $175 and have people count your laps for you.

Retailers can't sell things but a small percentage lower or higher than an MSRP. Even though the acronym has suggested in it, the price isn't very suggested.
