RE: beginers beware
Here is the breakdown on my UCANDO 46 ARF. I did recover it so there is and extra few bucks. And I bought it a the LHS so I paid a little more. And I didn't include the price of the TX. Fill in you own there. And, the tru-turn spinner, I consider top of the line, can be replaced with a $5 jobby. So this wan't the cheapest route to go but compared to building full sized 4 wheel drive trucks, I can go to the hobby store for a replacement for a part and walk out spending 30 bucks instead of finding a rear axel for $200.

Not bad for an ARF that only costs 150 bucks! It will add up but it all seems worth it.
