Local Redcat Vertex 6 for $600 new in box... very tempting

If you have someplace close, that you can make the most of it's capabilities, I'd hop right over that fence.

Tis a good deal indeed! I've been contemplating one of those myself

Yeah... I love the concept of what it can do, but most of my RCs end up sitting on the shelf... maybe I'll pass.

Just looked it up. That thing is huge! I didn't know they even made 1/6 scale crawlers. Looks pretty badass too!

RCTalk dudes and dudetts are a bunch of enablers most of the time, so...

 

[ferrebee88]

Its just something very different so it is very intriguing. I dont know what I would do with it when I got it, but it sure would be cool to look at on my shelf

You will need a big shef!

Perfect! That's reason enough to buy it.

 

[rhill]

Buy it! I would like to see how it runs. Local shop to me has several in stock, the guys there say they are great.

I'll be picking it up tomorrow. It comes with a sad story. It's being sold by an older gentleman. He bought 2 of them: one for him and one for his girlfriend for her birthday. She died 3 days before here birthday, so he never opened it. He has a few rigs for sale because he is thinking about getting out of the hobby now.

 

[RLB454]

Oh man, thats terrible. That story alone would make me want to buy it. Hopefully you can encourage him when you are picking it up and chatting with him.

Yeah. Its a sad story and I looked into it. Its a true story. Thats why I offered him the original $700 he was asking.

That's awful but good on you for honoring his original ask. Upstanding thing to do.

Thats a big crawler! I put the only 3s battery I have with an xt60 plug to test this out... turns out it has a dead cell. Looks like ill have to resurrect the battery first before I tackle the wood pile Here it is with my Apex 18 and SCX10. My 18 month old son also approves of my decision

 

[ferrebee88]

Well, the dead cell in the gensacearespammers adventure pack is a bummer... I couldnt revive the bad cell. I remembered I had some tiny zeee packs for my H10. I guess I will charge them up to save the day.

These axle weights are legit! I love how you can select your weight.
