I have to agree with jig, I need proof, this is where seeing is believing for me. And the claim that is faster than there counterparts I would believe is bogus, at the weight that it is pushing, I just can't see it. It might be quicker, but surely not faster. I need video, especially at $1200, or at least a R/C review from a 3rd party magazine of something. Just can't take their word for it at that price. Besides I chose nitro not for the speed factor, but for the pure fun of not having to charge it up, play for 10min, charge again for 30, play for 10, etc., etc. With LiPo batteries I wouldn't be able to afford extras. If someone could afford that truck though I guess they could probly cough up enough for extra batts too though. Wonder if it includes the LiPo charger as well, if not that's somemore money....uuuugggghhh[&o] It says RTRun but no mention of the charger in the description.
