I think I'm going to buy them all and corner the market! Suck on that, CooperDillon!

The day that goes 60 (On its own) is the day I get I <3 Cooperdillion on my chest.

 

[RevoME]

Thats Awesome!
Made in *Undisclosed*
You'll buy 9 of the 3 available to get one that doesn't work!
Hmmm?
Actually they go even faster than 60!!!
If you throw that thing out of an airplane in 10000 feet... yeah, thats real!

I saw one of those things at my local swapmeet for about 125 last Christmas.

I was tempted....just for my son. But I decided to give him one of my storms to play with..

The demo they did was lame.

 

[4u2nv]

I know, you see in the vid the dude hits that little ass bump and they slow it down like its evil kenival jumping a helicopter?? I had to laugh at that..

I like they say it was made in: Undisclosed but the dudes "Hobby shop" is called Pro JDM Hobbies...lol.. (Japanese designed motors) hmmm...

You can't show the Japs or the Chinese anything....they go home and ramp up the slave labor line and pound out crap by the container load.....the only way to stop them is with your wallet........as in keep it in your pants....

Its hard to avoid....we all most likly drive Jap cars and walk in chineese shoes...as long as we keep shelling out the cash they will keep shoveing it at us.

Does that mean that nothing of quality comes out of those countries???....NO far from it, I think the Japs make the best "consumer" cars on the planet....bar none...and I really like my OS engines..........so it goes the SAD THING IS IN TWENTY YEARS NOTHING WILL BE MADE HERE..........OK OFF MY HORSE NOW...

You have to be kidding me! What is that, scale miles maybe.

 

[grgbulldog]

i love the suspension system on that monster truck. it looks like it would do a lot of good with huge air.

 

[mach1basher]

Notice how they don't do a speed run:contract: . Here's an 80 mph buggy http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...Sell_LogicX&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget

 

[aj200415]

yea, i also love the gun-style radio that it comes with....gotta get me one of those...

 

[FastEddy]

I want the included engine stopper tool.

 

[4u2nv]

I hate these dudes that try to lure in noobs with big MPH's crap.. I personally think there ruining the great hobby for ALOT of people..
I suggest leaving this seller a note saying what ya think.. I have...hehe..

 

[aj200415]

WAIT A MINUTE! its all comming together now...

its another knock off of a smartech....look at the chassis design, the pistol radio, transmission set up, fuel tank, and wheels.....hmmmm, we have a copy!

 

[.21Rc10GT]

Don't know why you would go to the trouble of copying smartech...

 

[4u2nv]

It IS a smartech.. Look at the wing..lol.. Thats my next tatoo..

 

[.21Rc10GT]

Probably scale mph. No way (as we all know) that an MT will do 80 1:1 mph, by itself.

 

[grgbulldog]

haha...when i was a retarded 7th grader, and wanted nitro, i almost bought one of these....so glad i didnt

 

[Tweak]

You know, I feel your arguments on ALL these points, but i do have to drop a couple points.

When I first got into this, around a year ago, I was browsing Ebay, and my first thoughs were how I would like to find a nitro, just on the cheaper scale. My first nitro was an onroad and from an Ebay seller just like the guy here. It was a poorly made POS, with impossible to find parts. I paid 150 bucks for it and got about two solid tanks of use out of it. BUT: I got to feel the drive, I got to learn how to start the cars and I got a lot of time behind the wheel. It never broke on me, but I decided I was going to take it apart and clean it up. When I put it together I did something wrong and I started it, it shorted out and ran WOT into a curb, destroying the mill.

All in all, it was cheaper than buying a savage and bashing it as a newbie.

I actually think I did good to buy a chepo and breaking it. But, again, I do understand that these ripoffs might turn a new driver off the hobby- that is a pain.

 

[mach1basher]

I agree Tweak. My first and I still have revo was a big mistake. This was my first nitroand I bashed the thing like crazy. And now the truck is falling apart and the parts aren't cheap$$$$$! I would have a newbie insted of getting a ebayer get a nitro sport or something from the lhs and try that out.
