I hope this buggy is better thab the nitro version. A few guys here were running them, decent looking buggy but really poor quality.

Whats good though is to see another factory ready brushless 1/8th scale. Maybe the big guns will start releasing them too.. How about a $1300.00, ARR MP9.

Yeah, they kinda do. Is Caster racing affiliated with them? I've never heard that name (Caster racing) before.

I think caster is a new, independent company.

This is the one that Glassdoctor designed right?

Edit: Yep, this is the one: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...ghlight=caster

I put my name on the pre-order list back on April 14th, but now I can't afford it. :-)

It's good there are more options popping up. The biggest issue I see is that the prices for the MaxAmps packs on the CasterRacingUSA.com site are crackhead prices. Why on earth would someone spend ~$300 on 2 MaxAmps 2S packs when you can buy Trakpower or Enerland for far less?

Don't you know that they're the greatest packs ever?! MA is far superior to Enerland.

Sheesh, I thought everyone knew that!

Due to the large quantity of advertising that MA do... If I see a bunch of ads for something I naturally assume that it is good... Or that they are having trouble selling it...
