Tower has it at $249 and I used the $35 off coupon. Now that IMHO is a good price! I can not wait to receive it.

Yep. I've had mine pre-ordered since they came out - in fact, I pre-ordered it when the price was still listed as $299 on tower, when the price dropped I called them and asked if I would get the $249 price when mine shipped, and they took care of it for me - of course, one look at my order history in their computers and they know that they only stand to gain by keeping me happy  - reminds me of the "how much have you spent on R/C" thread in the chat section. The answer is I really don't care to stop and think about it. Bottom line, this is a lot of fun, and as long as I'm not breaking the bank on it, it's all good.But seriously - you're looking at a kit that you build, put electronics in and it's ready to go. Check out some of the other crawling ready rollers on the market - most of them are $500+, and more than a few are over $1000. I figure for someone just getting into crawling who doesn't have a lot of R/C experience and or a machine shop, this is a heck of a good deal. |

Hi ! My first post in the forum. I am waiting for that rig too (My First Crawler) ... (and I am from Quebec/Canada), the Canadian pricing should not be really far from the US pricing because of the current exchange rate ... but in Canada you got to add around 15% (2 taxes) to the pricing... so ~$250USD ... make that maybe ~280 to ~300 + taxes = 322 to 345$. but then again .. no real pricing here yet, it should be available like they says : Late August / Early Sept. as per the Canadian distributors (Great Planes and Horizon hobbies.) about myself : been in RC for 25 years, been racing ON-Road for 15 years.. I am a bit tired of being at the track once a week and having total weekly track time of maybe 30 minutes (6 packs), I am from the country side and my roots are OFF-ROAD (Dune Buggies and MT's), I dont have any current off-road related equipment except maybe running shoes  I have all of my equipment for the crawler is ready in a box : (2 x HS5925MG, 1 x HS5955TG (winch), M11 TX/RX, 38 & 4200's, Jeep Body, 55T & a 65T lathe motor, Fwd/Rev ESC, Until then ill be reading the forum and awaiting the AX10. M. |

None of the vendors here had it when I pre-ordered it. Besides, I've been supporting them plenty, and will be supporting them penty more, esp. unimoger and JRH. Those two have conspired to make everything but the motor and wheels on my WK weakpoints in the driveline. Since you're so hot on the vendors here, which of them has gears for my WK tranny? If they have them, they aren't on any of the websites they've got. I'm all about supporting the guys that help us out, but when I'm looking for something, I tend to be impatient, and the folks to speak up first are usually going to get my business.

Well that sucks. I cant see any reason to include a less desirable version of the tires unless they just need a way to get rid of them.

We currently only sell through distributors and their pricing is set. You will need to contact the vendor you are purchasing through to find out what their normal selling price would be. The first batch of kits was shipped from our overseas factory on the 20th, it is usually 4-5 weeks before the dealers start to get them in, but we will be doing our best to get them out as soon as we get them.

We designed it so that it would be competitive right out of the box. There will still need to be some setup and tuning required, but the out of the box set up performs quite well. The obvious change would be battery placement, as discussed it was done so that people can get up and running quickly using inexpensive batteries already on the market. It was always intended to have the option to use LiPo's or other smaller battery choices to mount on the front axle. Thanks, Axial | |||
