So what ever happened with these things, did anyone ever buy one? Was all the mud slinging in this thread worth it?

slinging mud is fun:D

I only know one person who got one as a prize, his rx never bound to the rx and the gear mesh was super tight from the factory, he hasn't run it yet. thats the problem when you make a rig look so pretty and expensive, this is why I try not to buy tamiya because their bodies are sometimes limited run and expensive and too nice to scratch up, my C11 body is sitting in a box[&o]

I saw them do an exhibition run of a couple of them at the Bandimere Mile High Nationals, which was cool and all, but didnt really interest me much. I am the announcer at a local drag strip, and the Mile High's was the 1st big drag race I had been to, but of the whole thing, the traxxas demo just seemed like time killer to me before the finals. They even had a couple big names ("Big Daddy" Don Garlits and Judy Lilly) piloting the cars, but honestly, I would have much rather seen another big, fast, 4 second 1000 foot run.

The thing about these cars, is that unless you have a group that will run with you, and a 330 foot (1/8th of a quarter mile) to use and play with, its not something that will be used much.
