Plus at $150 a piece, we have bought all the gears, shafts and materials for about $100, which is much cheaper. If they could get a 10FPS option with 6 inch wheels, that would make them look better, but they would still be too expensive.
Also keep in mind that 6" wheels are a bit big. For ground clearance they are ok but in most games you can go with smaller wheels.
