I was just looking at the NitroRCX site and they have a 1/5 scale 4WD monster truck 26cc gasoline powered truck coming soon that will sell for $899.

From the site:

BTW, they should hire someone who speaks English to check their adds...they misspelled "Tires" as "Tyers" and "Aggressive" as "Agressive." I should shoot them an email offering to edit their adds in exchange for the truck, or a Mad Beast.

Sure is nice to look at...and BIG!

Aint it though, and after seeing Dave's Mad Beast video it really makes me want one...since it's even bigger than the Mad Beast and gasoline powered instead of nitro.

I want one of those.

You got too many Ds in "ads"... but I'm sure they wouldn't catch on.

Well after looking into it, this would seem nearly identical to the Duratrax Firehammer, which Tower has on clearance for $699 right now, but when I search the Tower website I can't find it, and when I do a Google search most places list it as discontinued. At any rate, they are going have to do better than $899 to move these, since the 5B is going for $969 now.

I do that all of the time, I don't know why I never catch it. There are a couple of things that I never catch and it annoys the Hell out of me. I think I need to get one of those small cat-o-nine tails (ok, I don't know what they are really called) that the monks used to use for self-flagellation and beat myself every time I screw up.

I thought they were a lot more than that, I might have to start a "get something big enough to break a leg when I run into myself" fund.
