Right now, it is $419 shipped to your door from HobbyKing. I'm really thinking hard about getting one. I just don't want it if it is a POS.

If you make them an offer on eBay, you can get that price but that doesn't include shipping so I want to know where he got that deal also.

Hopefully Saturday stays dry to get in some run time,

Can one of you take a VIDEO of you running it around. I'd like to see it in action. Might help those of us that are on the fence about buying this truck. So who's going to help me out? I wonder how it sounds?

Thanks SPARKY! Really looking forward to seeing it in action! I'm itching to get one but still undecided if I should save more and get my old FG again, or spring for this one considering the price. Looking forward to seeing the video.

Some clones can be decent. My King Motor 5b has only broken parts when I crash.
