Yeah I know your right about the 4wd Bilbo, I never bothered to price the rc18t or the Vendetta because I don't really like the way 4wd drives at speed-- I know it grips better but its not as much fun. If your racing I guess thats different. My main concern was (and is) Radio Shacks long term support record is not good and I have never seen a good radio system with one of their products...although I haven't owned that many other than zips (which I love). Like I said it looks like it might have potential...When they clear them out at$60 or so.

Well I love my RC18T, on the carpet track it breaks the rear loose with the BRP foams I'm using. With the Losi street meats on the concrete alley I can almost drift, but I'm not good at drifting.

4. Oil filled shocks (may be the ones
come with the package) 39.99

7. Drive-shaft and case set (carbon fiber)19.99
8. Different pinion gears 19.99
9. Titanium servo saver & tie rods 19.99 (pretty good for titanium)

Oh plus the truck $99
------------------------------------------------$488.91
before tax (5-6%) $518.25 Looks cool but I think I’ll stick with their Zips
