Woodie, Before you make such a statement, check on line for a Team Losi SCTE TEN 2.0 kit. Then check on a Tekin RX8 ESC & a Tekin Pro 4 HD 4300 motor, a Savox 1258 Servo, a set of 4 ProLine Trenchers, then add for a Turnigy Nano Tech Ultimate 6.6 Battery and a AVC Radio system. Throw in a few bucks for shipping, and misc., and you'll be right at $1100.
I didn't even buy the most expensive kit by any means. Check the prices on some other high end stuff like XRAY, and you can quickly figure another $200 plus. I agree there probably aren't any RTR short course trucks out there at $1100, but this is not a RTR, and I didn't over pay (at least not by average internet prices).
I wasn't comparing my SCT to this nice Mustang behemoth, only stating the facts on my most recent build and actual costs. The truck isn't highly modified, only built with top quality parts. The body alone on the 5th scale Mustang will certainly cost you more than $200 (current prices for a clear 5th scale SCT body are around $175).
These are only my thoughts as to where this Mustang might be priced, but, it's only my opinion.
