I think they hold there value well. RTR v2s were around 800-850 new. A used RTR v2 is still around 500. Roller v2s were around 450-550. A used v2 roller is around 350. Similar story with the v1s. That doesn't sound like abnormal RC depreciation to me. They are still cheap forms of entertainment if you get your use out of them (cost per hour, even with depreciation isnt much if you use it alot). They are a lot cheaper than some other hobbies even with depreciation factored in.
don't hold it against the Rampage if you put a ton of money in unnecessary or non Redcat hopups and the hopups arent worth anything. don't hold it against Rampage that you bought without shopping around for the best pirce. don't hold it against Rampage if you paid someone a few hundred more to build it for you and cant get that back.
Just my opinion. Im using the crap out of mine so my cost per hour including depreciation is low. I also start with rollers to keep the cost of deprecation lower by selling them as used rollers when Im done. I shopped around for my hopups too so Ill get more than 50% back on my non Redcat hopups also.
Spend wisely, use what you buy, do it yourself, and you wont get burned.
