You are unreal, Eddie! I never even heard of Robitronic, the buggy in the photos has a non-stock body, and you still recognize it! All hail the all-knowing RC guru!

Yeah, I was looking at them on their web site and reading some reviews. When I see stuff like that on craigslist, I figure it may be a good deal if I could pick something up for maybe $100. But the reviews are OK but not great, and I am thinking the RXB is the next thing I really want. So I am going to save the $100 for now and keep waiting until some unbelievable deal comes along or I am ready to get the RXB. And damn if Hobby People don't have the SH21 8 port on sale again for $150. But I don't have a good use for it (yet)! Was it Go engines you may have access to? I am thinking a Go 5 port would be a better option anyway.

I have never personally seen a raped ape, and am not sure I want to. But I am guessing they move pretty fast!

Eddie, do you have or can you get the Go engines?
