Well, you know... it's better for someone else to say it than me. It's like picking up women... it's better for you to have a "wingman" to talk you up to the person before you come in. Just kidding... I just figured he was looking to buy brand new, especially since he has seen this forum... with my post...

I just called and ordered one from Ultimate, you only have until 3/31 for the free shipping, I only called to ask a question about how long it would take to ship and the guy told me to call in the order when I want one. He said it may take a day or 2 to get the online orders filled. Anyways I ordered it today and he said I should get it by next Thurs. or Fri. I really hope it's alot more durable than my T-maxx.

I thought mine was durable until it fell off the side of my ramp & broke a rear arm. If you're racing you'd be better off with something else IMO. I'm sure you could do some serious upgrades & remove unnecessary extras (reverse, OptiDrive, etc) & have a decent racer but if I had it to do over again I'd look hard at a LSP. Actually, I'm doing that right now. lol

wow allen thats pretty slow. i order one on a monday from hobby people, which was on back order. i then waited until the following monday as to when they were getting them for shipment. i got a reply saying get with them on wednesday. so i did still know luck but hey i can't beat the price of $419 free shipping to Rota Spain. later that evening they send me another email saying i found at one our store's in san diego will have them hold it for me so that i can pick it up in the morning and ship it. ok so lets see not quite(spelling) 2 weeks yet right. Monday rolls around my wife calls me at work and that i am looking a little sick and need to go home for the rest of the day. hobby people hooked me up they sent it 2 day air @ $48.70 for shipping. my Revo went from san diego, CA to rota spain in 4 days.

Wow, that is pretty good with it going all the way to Spain. I don't think they are going to upgrade my shipping though since the free deal is for ground only and it's shipping over 3000 miles. Must be horseback since it's free who knows. All I know is $440 clean is a good price.

If you say so[X(] I bought a Revo for $385 from ebay new in the box and a S-maxx for $280 new in the box. $25 shipping charge in both auctions. You just have to be selective in your auctions, take a look at this REVO $350

Thanks for the kind words Paul. Yes, we've always got a bunch of them in stock. $438.95 is the current price, and that's with a free t-shirt.

Call hobby people support a couple of times or talk to a couple of their sales staff. No speaka english, no understand RC, no knowleged of anything.. Sorry but after calling them two or three times with questions about the XCellerator I won't buy a thing from them..

I bought my REVO off of ebay used. The guys sent me about 20 pic of before I bid on it. The total price with shipping was 350. It ran and looked like new. If you can buy on cheap enough on ebay the worse that can happen if you need a new piston and sleeve which is about 50 bucks then the motor is like new again. I didn't have to go that route and I am on my 5th gallon of fuel since I bought mine. He also include a spare set up arms left and right for both front and rear, two new bulkheads, a spare set of crystals, the 7.2 battery for the EZ-Start, and a spare set of wheels from his old T-Maxx. I think I got a pretty good deal.
