I like how the motor guard is still present at the back. Aside from the gearbox, it looks quite nice.

As for the other one: Savage etc. for 2K? Really? I also wonder how his unassembled RTR works. Is it a disassembled RTR? A RTR that was never driven? new? a kit that he's trying to sell as RTR?

You just have to hit something really hard, and it will "unassemble" itself. ;)

These sorts of ads pop up all the time on Craigslist, it seems. Someone drops $400 at Hobbytown, gets bored after a couple runs, scratches it all up, and tries to sell it for $350. Or rent comes due, and suddenly the $800 they "invested" in shiny parts for the Revo seems like a bad idea...

I "streached" out my 1/10th scale Traxxas to 1/5th scale!

It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

"RC Tamiya Falcon Brand New (Rare) - $500 (Vancouver)
I have a brand New in the box RC Tamiya Falcon comes with remote this is very nice.
contact me by phone. Unopened very nice. Price $500.00 or you can buy one at Ebay for $895.00"

It's funny how nobody ever checks to see if those cars with the ridiculous "Buy It Now" prices actually ever sell...

Tempting, but... nah, I already have a pretty nice Falcon. Paid $50 for it if I recall.
