Status: offline 		anybody know what the deal is with the price difference with the prospec kit? trust me when i say that i like a deal, but speedtech nitro runs the prospec kit for 600, 50 cheaper than amain and about 120 less than horizon. anybody know if this is legit, or are they going to get you on shipping or something (like all those ebay deals).

jmac, that's nice man. Have you gotten any runtime on it yet? Just wondering how you like like that C6 in it? I'm still trying to decide between the C6BB and the Ninja. Been stewing on it for 2 weeks and still can't decide. My Prospec ships tomorrow so I got to decide soon! I may just flip a coin, if I can't make up my mind, lol.

Status: offline 		i really want to "just click it". i guess the last main thing is to see how it compares to the crt pro. they are both priced relatively similar. any ideas on the comparison (prospec vs. the jammin)? i wanted to wait to get some feedback on how it drove and the build before i bought it. the wife and baby are away and i wanted to build it this weekend. you can't beat $600 for a top kit from a top manufacturer.

Status: offline 		I likes the look of the mugen(prospec), but being as large as it is I would go with the werks .28 truggy engine.IMO you can always tone power down but its hard to make more.

Status: offline 		The mag reviews are so biased its unreal. I've yet to read a review in ANY magazine that said an RC they were testing was junk or was horrible.

They aren't about to lose advertising money. So, they'll take a neutral stand on anything they review. Show me a review where the truck/buggy/car had more "negatives" than "positives". Until I see something like that I don't trust their reviews.....
