My satement or Optbobs statement? My statement just says that the electronics look decent and the total cost of the electronics is a little over 3/5ths the price of the truck.Yeah, I think that statement is just a bit of an exaggeration, but if it were a Horizon truck with some nice Spektrum stuff in it (minus the servo of course) it would be $640. I have been considering either the Axe or the regular Gen 8 for my first 1/10 crawler, and I really don't think either could be a bad choice.
