Dang man... you could get a real car for that price... but then again ... I could've bought a real car with the cost of my revo and x-1 cr put together....

Check this out guys... this is what I want for christmas. I've always wanted a bad ass rally truck.

That does look like a mean truck! I especially like the body since it's different than anything I've seen.

i had one they are a novelty item. its really cool for about 2 days. then you realize your driving around a 25 lb missile with zero ability to stop. the brake disk conversion is almost mandatory and until they make a 4wd version in a baja truck or something I wouldn't suggest spending that kinda bank.

Nice car. I like them because they look so cool. But the more i think about it i really dont have anywere besides openfeilds to run it. which im sure would get boring rather quick, plus they are exspensive .

BL_RVO was referring to the 1/8th rally truck I linked. Its nitro.

If I got it, it wouldn't stay nitro for very long...

I was talking to some one about this as a conversion.
Estimated weight of the buggy when done was alot lighter then I expected.
I think 6s lipo would push it very easily.


Peace!

I'd have to agree with no mods. They are too uncontrollable being rear wheel drive. Something 4wd would be sweet.
