Now, what can the RC enthusiast do to help keep prices low on high performance products (like Castle motors?)
Contact your congressmen, and let them know it's in our country's interest for them to support: H.R. 4866, the Rare Earths Supply-Chain Technology and Resources Transformation Act of 2010 (house) and S. 3521, Rare Earths Supply Technology and Resources Transformation Act of 2010 (Senate)

IDK what the detail of the bill is, but can this actually do anything? From what I know, China has nearly all the available rare earth metals and is not shy about using that to its advantage, as well as having its own terrible inflation problem (from years of artificially keeping their currency low.)
Perhaps now are we just seeing a more "real" price for these items than we are used to (discounting the market manipulation)?
Glad I stocked up during last year's sale
