It still says the list is 960.00!!!

It's priced right(ish) now but someone is retarded if they want me to think it's a 960 dollar truck.

looks like this now


List: $960.00
Our Price: $524.89
Shipping: Free!*

I bought plenty of parts from them. It's like buying parts with no tax. Shipping is fast and is always free. They offer plenty of discounts too.

Most sites have a list price which is basicly BS, spinnas.....524 is ok, they are not asking 900ish bucks, they wouldnt dream it...they know...
The list price is an average really, of what it sells for in retail shops, you know, impulse window shoppers, and country towns and the like, those without a credit card or net connection all pay list prices...

Dont complain so much, the list price here in sweden is (in todays rate of exchange) 965.89 US$ and the lowest price here in sweden is not that much lower.

If the hobby shops here in sweden should sell the revos for about the same price as in US (5-600$) they would loose money.
