I had to go to the local hobby store yesterday.....they have 6 if these in stock, with a display model outside the box so you can really look it over.

Really tempting....took a lot not to leave with 1. Does anyone have 1 of these? Any input as to if it's worth the price tag on there?

They look fun, that all I've got to offer.

i watched about 3 minutes of a video on one the other day, iv been more impressed by drying paint.

A lot of traxxas stuff I look at and see a lot of slash in the base design...this definitely has some.

I like the rally car idea. I bought a couple Kyosho to try out.
I'd love to try a Fazer rally too.

LC Racing also has a really cool rally car.

The Associated Rally car also makes me smile.

I feel like there are other fun options to try than a rehashed version of an overplayed chassis.

I will have to report back on the vintage Kyosho TF3 and the Peugeot 405 nitro. Prob not til next spring tho!

I cleaned up this thread, lets try to keep it somewhat on topic.
I am curious to see how folks like these once a few get out there?

I've seen one in person but haven't driven it, they look cool but I think they're very expensive for what you're getting.

Two of my main gripes were the proprietary rock hard tires with no alternative options (standard touring car wheels don't fit), and the small battery tray that really limits your choices.

For the same price, you can buy the Slash-based Fiesta rally car which is more capable and more customizable.
