Picked up one of these today for the kiddo. The guys at 2 hobby shops were bustin' nuts (and bolts) talking about these things. Supposed to be a great basher/racer. The kicker is it's for his b-day and it 3 WEEKS AWAY!! I've already peeped it. 🙂

Anyone else run one?

I haven't seen one run, but we have one at the LSH I work at and we are all really wanting to open one up and see how its goes. From the video I have seen of them its seems to be a pretty sweet ride.

Looks like a heck of a lot of fun. He will enjoy. I haven't run one my self but my LHS guy has and he says that they are very awesome and drive easy. I'd love to get something like that for my kid but she is a little young yet and if I did I know I would throw a BL and LiPo in it right away, then there is no way she could drive it, LOL. I kind of have a nack for speed for some reason.

Looks like fun though. Let us know how it preforms and the vid is sick.

LOL give Whip a few months, that think will be Pimped out, I'm sure he is already ordering parts :resp:

You can get these things pushing the speed limit with no problem. Search on youtube for Slash's with 3-cell LiPo's and BL. Insane.

LOL!!! Looking last night. What's sweet is that you can use a bunch of Rustler hopups that are already on the market. This thing won't be "cheap" long. But for right now, I don't think you can buy more fun for $199!
