Has any body seen this ? Looks pretty good but it is a little out of scale ---1/70.The price doesn't look to bad either.

Betty, looks like some people are on your wave length. Someone buy this and give us a review!

I'm pretty sure I saw one of those in a KB toy store last week. There was a red Jeep Wrangler too. I can't seem to find it on the KB website though.

I have both the jeep rubicon and the humvee. They steer like a car, are much bigger than bits, and have the pcb like the sbcg so they can't be fetted. Out the box they are somewhat slow but have decent torque. Also they're not as easy to get into as a bit and the controller basically has a joystick for control. I found it awkward but I can use other controllers. I bought them for $7.00 each at a walmart in Pa.
