To add a little to the price comparision, let me say this. Earlier today I was pricing what it would take for me to build a good Team Losi XXX-NT Adam Drake 2. Granted, I was setting up for a pro radio(Futaba 3PK PCM) and I didn't include the price of the radio because I want to set up my other cars for the 3PK and buy the radio first. I also included digital high speed/torque servos and a Sirio Adam Drake engine. I priced all of the equipment and just under a grand before the radio. You can buy a XXX-NT RTR II for just over $350.
