yea 1800mah NiCd The thing that really sucks about the electric chassis is a stick pack is the only thing you can fit into it. I can even get any of my old 6cell SxS pack in it. and I'm having a heck of a tme finding a decent capacity lipo that would fit also

I won one new in the box on ebay for $92 last week, but I got the ME16 RY version. Its a beefy little sucker. And I use the term "little" loosly. It weighs just a shade over 4lbs out of the box (certainly not mini in my eyes), but it looks pretty tough. I am waiting for my motor to come in for it now. I ordered a MM4600kv motor to run with a sidewinder ESC that I already had. Probably just on 2s. Its more something that I can let the nephew drive around so I can shut him up and not let him touch my good stuff.
In stock form its pretty week as far as power and speed go. The other thing that is very weak is the steering. There is hardly any throw at all in the tires from lock to lock and from my estimation its not gonna be a simple job to get it to turn more. Its got the front diff case in between the cam arms of the steering mechanism so there really isnt any way to get them to move farther. Its probably gonna be a funn little driveway toy and if thats all you are expecting from it it will be fine, but for $239 I can tink of a bunch of other trucks that would be better IMO. I see them in onlne stores for $165 here in the US. Look around you should be able to find it for less than what you saw.
