Yep, I didn't see the price until I checked the site, that's way too much money for a roller.

Dear AE....WTactualF are you guys doing!?

 

[xjtorc]

They think they're following in the footsteps of their RC28R Team Kit which costs even more than this one and is pretty popular among the mod mini-z racing crowds. I'm sure the micro off-road racing crowd is totally content with their $100 Micro-Bs

 

[HPIguy]

On my micro drift car, I can see the cost due to all the nicely machined and engraved/marked aluminum. But for this, that's mostly molded plastic, as much as I love it, no way in hell.

$240 is a bit much for 1/24 scale. if it were 1/18 scale my credit card would be melting right now.

how long until they do the truck? that one would be a little harder for me to say no to.

 

[ferrebee88]

I want a 1/5 scale version

 

[CertifiedMike]

The list of included goodies looks pretty nice. A lot of hop up is already done.
I bet its a lot of fun to drive too!

The price is crazy tho.

 

[RippingLegos]

It is too steep, but the wheelie footage is cool

 

[TheRadWarrior]

I still feel like it's too expensive, I mean, 240$ for a 1/24 kit? Even without all the electronics?!

 

[Doom!]

Completely off their rockers! No way they can justify that price.

 

[CreepyQuarryCrawler]

I want a 1/5 scale version

1/7th or they can keep it

truly one of the RC10s to exist (there are like 15 cars all named the RC10 please let the name die already )

I’m just tired now. Maybe that’s the goal; wear us down.

I just ran through the part prices.

The servo listed on A Main is $90, the ESC I could only find on AE's site with an MSRP around $90 and the motor the same. We haven't even discussed a radio system or battery. Throw in paint and anything I missed it's seven hundred dollar 1/24th shipped to your door.

It's not the same thing but a comparable Mini Z buggy that is all in minus some batteries is half that. Inferno MP9

It looks pretty nice, but I'd rather have seven or eight of these for the same money and start a show-up-and-race night for non-RC friends.
Hobby Plus Speck-B (I already have one of them.)
