Just like Gabe, Ive been into it since I was a kid with the Nikko/Tyco's...then I moved up to the Tamiya Grasshopper, then a Tamiya Frog, then I sold them and took some years off, then got into it again with a Traxxas Stampede, then a Nitro Rustler, took a couple more years off, then got into it again with the HPI Savage 25, Losi LST, and now my LSP 
I'd have to say that Im in it for the racing thrill more then anything...
Last year right before x-mas, I took my 6 month old Savage to Leisure for the first time on a practice day....I practiced a couple more times before I ran my first race and I was instantly hooked, I went almost every weekend and I kept upgrading parts, upgrading trucks and so on
Racing my 1:1 is fun also, but R/C racing doesnt cost as much, that and I can actually win at R/C racing
IMO it seems that "the more you spend, the faster you go" dosent factor in quite as much as it does in 1:1 racing.
