RE: RT-X 27 only 200 bones?!
My son wanted a truck and we ended up getting one when they were $250. It is our first truck and I like it. He is not a racer but a basher and it has held up to several hard hits. Earlier this week he rolled it down the yard and it landed in the pond and was 3 feet under water for a minute or two. I posted in RTX vs Koi pond. I dried out the receiver and took out the engine and took it apart and sprayed it down with WD-40 and reassembled it and it fired right up. IMHO it is well worth the money.
I was going to get one so I could play with my son, his looked so fun, then the price went to $300 so I got the MMgt 3.0. That's a good truck too but I'm thinking his can take a lot more abuse.
