I did. Freeagent popped online and was trying to talk me into getting a revo.. but the slash and the revo are same price up in canadia.. and this is not a brushless model... good starter car I think, $200 shipped with an extra battery.

Thanks for reminding me of some of the big names

Back when I was in Losi was starting out I think.. associated was huge (I had the RC10) tamiya always popular for the budget spender.. Kyosho was what I really wanted... the optima 4WD 4WS steeering.. woo whee that was like $400 for just the car back in the 80s... $600 for the 3 speed bruiser from tamiya.. now those same cars are nabbing 1K + on ebay its insane.

My neighbor had a monster beetle. Which he crushed a grasshopper with at hennings in lansdale, lol. Front tire came down hard enough on the car to put it out of the race hee hee. That was going for $500 on ebay wtf.

thats a 300% markup of the original price. at least.

I guess if he likes it enough I will getting one to race with him once I move up near him (My son I mean)
