Only one problem with it:
Nitro D8 : $398.99
V8e : $595.00

For what extra? How can they charge nearly $200 more for a plastic chassis version of a car they already make?

I don't like it anyways, it uses a 50T spur, so that motor is well off the centreline, as is the battery. Also, how limited a battery choice do you want?!? Nice they've really thought long and hard about this one. 5 minute run times on 7.4V anyone? It's the only way that'll be balanced.
