This puppy has monster tires, two motors, four wheel drive with suspension that doesn't quit, it has a two speed trany with reverse and hauls butt. I stuck with the environment friendly electric version and can only drive for about 20 to 30 minuets but at 30+ mph you can still cover some ground.

Just under $500 for everything. The truck was $335 and then add in the batteries and charger. If you go with the gas model add about $150 more.

I got into the nitro truck thing a few years ago. Worst hobby I ever attempted.

Gas cars/trucks are horrible IMHO. It seemed like it was 10 minutes playing with it, then an hour trying to fix it. Over and over. It has been sitting in a box in the garage for the past few years. Waste of money.

If I ever get back into it I will go ELECTRIC. No fuss no muss (whatever that means)

Yeah, I used to be into racing r/c cars. Mine hauled ASS (probably 55+ mph) but only ran for about 6-8 minutes on a charge.

Of course, it would barely clear a nickel, much less a soda can. Still fun as hell. The fun triples if you have a cat and/or dog.
