    Thinking one of those 500 dollar jobs is any better or responds any differently from this 150 dollar job (still ridiculous), then we just discovered the entire problem with these RC companies thinking their brand of plastic and cheap electronics is worth 2 and half times the already to expensive "cheap" version. Its all the same plastic and dollar store electronics from Taiwan, not a chunk of frickin gold. 3 and 4 thousand dollar rc cars.. geezus. Ride that delusion while you can. I do have a few, and I let them play money pit for a while, doesnt take many times to wake an adult up out of that kind of frivolousness. Yes, Im pissed that they price this sh_t out of reality

Looks like they've had some updates since. I will need to revisit them.

    Nice build. Were you able to get the Panaracer tires to sit evenly on the mag wheels. Reason I ask is I have a Skyway bmx with the Tuff wheels and cannot seem to get the tires to mount evenly around. Tried soapy water, massaging the tire at low psi, but there is still a slight wobble. Nice tires but they dont seem to go work too wheel with mag wheels due to lack of a clincher/lip.
