Gotta love threads where a guy comes here asking for advise, gets a ton of great advise from people who know what they are talking about, heeds none of it, then defends his decision to the contrary.

Priceless.

Amen brother

And, after doing the above, will wonder why board members treat him like a dumba$$ when he complains that his junk isn't working right.

You can lead a idiot to knowledge, but you can't make him think !

Yep, but you know what, thats the good thing about them being cheap, buy it, try it, pitch it and get another.
Its not my first crawler, won't be my last. Will have the Axial when it comes out, thinking of doing up a Bender, who knows, whatever mood I am in to do.

I would skip it FAST!! Not based on the rig itself, but based on the seller. A) he is a 0, B) he had the gall to put a $700 BIN on it, and C) he wants $45 to ship something that would never cost him more than $30.

Get with Beckworks for the Cobra and Holmes Hobbies for the mamba!! Both are Vendors in the Vendors section.

$500.00 shipped isn't a bad price if you could trust him!
