Motors are relatively simple and common things, made of non-exotic materials, costing no great amount to manufacture in the millions to various levels of serviceable specs.
Model RR trucks are relatively complex items, made from tooling that has no other purpose than to manufacture model RR trucks, a market that, globally, is virtually non-existent, so the cost per unit is high.
