sucker seems awesome...over 40mph out of the box...one guy didnt some minor tweeks with props and adjustments and got it to 64mph on 4s....and get this...it comes with a futaba 2.4GHz tx/rx also has a 6-pole 36-56-2030kV brushless

with my member discount I can get it for $259 right now

pretty amazing deal
