Coming soon, 1/5 4wd gas truck rtr $899

Post by sidewinder »

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:
"The Truck is a massive 32'' long , 20'' wide and over 15'' Tall, it is the Biggest truck we carry. Big wheels and Tyres have been taken to the next level 8'' Tall and a little over 4'' wide make these the biggest on the market.

Full alloy shocks are fully adjustable with wind down threaded adjusters.

The RTR Kit features a 2 Channel Remote Controller and a GWS 22 Kilo Steering Servo and 8 Kg Throttle /Brake Servo. The body Shell is pre painted and pre stickered saving you time to ensure a quick start at the track. The Exceed RC Racing 4wd Monster Truck comes with 4 x huge pre glued Offroad Monster Truck wheels and tyres featuring an agressive tread pattern and foam inserts. The Exceed RC 4wd monster Truck is fitted with an optional factory fitted Chrome Tuned exhaust Pipe -"

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. :???:

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.

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

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. :mad: 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. :???:
