Not sure on what their price will be, but I have to assume since they are not available yet, that price is just a placeholder.

A 28cc option will be available around September.

We will have pricing set by about May 10th with a promotion offer going on for the first 100 sold.

I am not sure if Hobbytowns will carry it yet, I would assume some will but from what I find, many hobby shops dont carry 1/5 scale probably due to size and cost to keep inventory. I know many of our dealers will carry the product though and many of them ship so I am sure you will be able to find when they are available.

the guys at Largescalerc built my rampage. just dont have time to tinker. only enough time to bash. they put a chrome 28.5cc motor in it with a spektrum control system. changed the servos and i will put a x-box pipe with 3" stingers. also put a tgn airfilter on it. just some thing different so i put the asgard body on it. i own the mcd monster and its to spendy to bash so it just sits on the shelf. probably need to sell it. mama thinks i'm sick with this hobby. she's correct on that. anyway for the $$$ this is a great racer or basher. can't say enough about the service the guy's at largescalerc give me and they still have this truck and the buggy in stock and ready to go. enjoy the hobby its a great one. so u only live once try the titan and Rampage and any thing else u can get away with !!!

Darin, not bashing here but it seems like it is holding back on top end quite a bit. Is this one brand new and not tuned it yet?

Go watch other videos of the buggy, thats about all the 23cc engine does for it with the way its geared. The power is lost powering the front wheels too. A 28 is in the near future to give it a much needed boost in overall power.

The buggy was on its first tank. Not tuned, nothing done to it except the x-can.

Once you get about 5 tanks through them, it is a big difference.
