Yes cars like the E-Revo are overpriced, but the Rustler, Stampede, and Slash are not overpriced. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...SORT=A&CAT=CAI Just so you can compare the prices of the Traxxas trucks to others, side by side when compared to other rcs they are about the same price as their competitors. That's the thing that car is far from decent, a decent car has more than 1 option for upgrades. Traxxas makes decent rcs, WLToys makes cheep rcs.
I should have listened to Cory when he said not to get a 1/18 scale rc and that I should go with a 1/10 at least. I kick myself every single time I think back to how much of a better rc I could have gotten with my money.
The Traxxas Stampede after the $25 coupon code that you can get off Tower Hobbies front page is $174.95
