Two weeks ago they were selling for $359. Now they are down in the $290s range. Looked one over real well in a local shop and the quality appeared much better than most. No slop at all in the front end and the components that look like they get the most stress are very thick. A mid-motor, slightly in front of the rear axle is different than most that have the motor mounted behind the rear axle. I wonder how this would compare with the Traaxas buggy, the Bandit. Bandit is 10 scale; the Tsumani is 8, but I think the actual sizes are pretty close.
