NEW from our friends at Tacon!
Interesting release from Tacon.... Three 1/12 cars...a 4wd Rally and a 4wd Short Course both based on the same platform, and a buggy that's a tad shorter than the other two. shaft drive. and only $169. Hmm... getting spares could be an issue, unless Istocked up on EVERYTHING while they had the stuff. And they have clear bodies available, Icould paint one in Subaru WRC livery!

Sheesh $169 with a 35A ESC setup, and 2.4ghz radio...
electronics alone would cost at least $60-100 to buy from what it looks like
and places like HPI wonder why they are getting their rear ends handed to them.

considering you can buy a 1/10 brushless 4wd RTR for only $20-$40 more, I dont think the price is that great.
On the other hand, they do have alloy chassis and shock towers....which we dont see on many sub-1/10 scale RTR's.
As foxy said, the quality of the plastics will be the issue. Ive had a turnigy mini rally, and if the A-arms didnt shatter with a small hit then it wouldnt be a bad model for the money. But those are also sub $100.
I dont see myself paying over $150 for a model I might have trouble getting parts for!
