I kinda want to pick up a white one too so I have kept up with them on ebay a bit.

this seller is new and the price is probably incorrect, but with paypal buyer protection and ebays too, I took a chance on this at 19.99...... if he refunds me thats ok too.

Wait for an eBay coupon. They have 10, 15, and even sometimes 20% off coupons that pop up once in a while.

Let us know how that works out! It's probably a typo or a scam, but Ebay/Paypal are good about refunding if it is. I bought a way-too-cheap-to-be-true R/C from China once, and I got an automatic Ebay refund about a day later. In that particular case, it was a scam.

Did you get any responce of the seller? I also took a chance on this, but I'm not getting any response of the seller.

^ I've been watching that listing, and I'm surprised to see it's still up. Could it actually be legit??? My brain is telling me no, but my heart is telling me yes

FWIW, the seller still only has 2 feedback. Not a good sign.

And there both for non RC items as well, I looked.

The feedback is probably from his or her mom and dad.

Been seeing a bunch of scams like this on Ebay lately, especially with RC stuff for some reason.

[sherbs]

As much as I think it is a scam, with paypal and ebay backing the sale there is nothing to loose. Who knows maybe the guy ended up with some cases for nothing. So I ordered one to see, I'll tie up $20 for a bit even if only for the entertainment value. It is kind of like playing Mega Millions Lottery, not much of a chance of winning but none at all if you don't play.

I just found these things yesterday and now I came here and found this thread. That means its meant to be right?



I ordered one from https://www.ebay.com/itm/Pro-HG-1-10....c100005.m1851


$253 shipped seemed good. I'm also going to try my luck with the $20 dollar one because why not.

Were you #11 to order, I was #10. Will be interesting on the end results.

Yeah I must have been #11. Hoping for the best.

I bet it's the crap motor from the kit...I have a tracking number so we will see what happens. The listing doesn't say this specifically but that's my guess.

[soze]

I just ordered as $253 was the cheapest I've seen for the RTR.

I bought the RTR via this guy - https://ebay.to/2LX62kW

If you paid attention... you get 5% off for adding a qualifying item....

so I also added some XT60 connectors - https://ebay.to/2LUUwXr

That brings down the price of the Bruiser clone to $241 + the 10 pairs of XT60 at $6.30

In short, you pay $6 less and get 10 pairs of XT60 connectors on top.

Screw it, I ordered one too. Lets see what happens.

[ussprinceton2004]

are all the original stickers/decals replicas sold out?

[cartronicshn]

i hope you guys get at least your $20 worth, if you get the truck let us know , i can surely find space for another 6 more at that price.

[ussprinceton2004]

I bet it is a scam

[WesleyRoy]

I think it is just the motor. The description ends with motor. Like od9mandr said.
