The video is done well anyway, and they look great. But that’s an expensive toy

Awesome features and awesome truck, but man, by the time you'd buy a remote and batteries and a charger, what is the total cost $700 bucks?

LOL at $500. I had over $2k in my last 1/8 scale buggy race rig. Traxxas is about the best RTR deal there is out there.

Tell me about it..lol ive been into this stuff since 96 and have $1400 just in my Tamiya Clodbuster ive had for better part of 20years now. I have trail rigs, stadium trucks, buggies, on road belt and shaft drive cars, monster truck m.o.a. and shaft drivin, Tanks, and air planes. my boys love this stuff and it makes for good winter projects. I have spent so much time over the years restoring cars/trucks, its nice to be in house out of the cold/hot garage working on little cars and trucks sometimes! lol

The video is awesome. We have a couple of Stampede trucks that we run really hard. This one is so good looking that i’d be afraid of completely bashing the body

Its always fun to go to car show/cruise night in bronco and then drive the little rc replica of the real thing in the lot! Its a good stepping stone to get kids involved in cars and learn how mechanical aspect of cars/trucks really work on there level. Its how I got my start as a mechanic and learning how things work. Also gave me incentive to have summer job, kept me from being a basement gamer and pot head! lol gotta have hobbies!

Came to post this. Use to build and race stadium trucks in the 90s. Had over $1K in my build. $500 is a bargain looking at the feature list.
