Looks like names should be swapped. T-maxx tank is a savage tank, and vice versa.

I am suprised no one else got that off the first try.

you should give them a call and ask to talk to the manager and tell them about it. It'd be so funny!

I would have never noticed this just searching around on RCU. It is funny.

I didn't really care about the Savage tank, that's why I only mentioned the T-Maxx tank and posted the link. A "big" hint. However, if you think that is funny--go check out an AE RC18B--it has "Monster Truck" on the box.

There is no spelling error, the "G" in savage isnt an "S" its just the font.

i could never quite figure out why they classify that as a "monster truck". its barely big enough to climb over rocks! although i dont think i should be bashing on it as i may want to buy a mini one of these days... once my nitro addiction is fulfilled.

The AE RC18B is a "buggy", not a monster truck (AE RC18MT) or even a truck (AE RC18T). AE changed the photo on the RC18B box, but not the wording.

Default RE: spot the error in this rcu ad

this is even more confusing now.[&o] but i guess the only thing that matters to me is if theyre strong and fast. (i would probably get the factory team kit and put a nice motor, esc, and battery in it.) but then again this is based on the fact that i have enough money and enough nitros to keep myself entertained.

I noticed that ad a few months ago and posted here but I posted the thread in the general rc forum, no one responded. I think it's pretty sad that they can't get their adds right.

The bottom line is that the person is going to buy it anyway even if there is some flaw in the ad if he really wants the product. Myself, I usually don't save the packaging (or ads) so it doesn't matter.

Myself, I would not ask for a part and try to explain I wanted the part shown on the left hand side of some banner ad (which was probably mirrored when scanned). Think about it--most places would probably want to know the "brand" name of an RC that the part was being purchased for if not the part number as well. And yes, I do know of sites that didn't have photos to match their parts--they also lost business. Later, some changed their website format.
