    Looks like all Team Associated. Good stuff but the turn off is it's #Merican. So all the metric allen wrenches you have are useless. You'll need a new set of SAE.

    Yep, it’s a Associated T4 Factory Team. Stadium truck used to be the class of choice before SC trucks became so popular. Yes, it’s made in the US (thank God) BTW Associated has more national and world championships than any other manufacturer.

    Its 2WD?

    I was out of RC during the stadium buggy heyday. It looks fun.

    I would want something like that in 4wd. The Vaterra Halix looks like a real ‘bashers delight’.

    I'm not bashing on them because got I've an SC10 I play with, too. I just never anted up for some good wrenches and dread any repair work. Check DollarHobbyz for some OEM parts. I rebuilt every thing but the shocks and wheels/tires for less than $30 from there.

    Traxxas Slash would take a good beating and looks like a SCT.

    OK, gotcha. I think Arrma may have one but I can't remember. Maybe Hot Bodies.

    a monster truck? I am not seriously looking for one, but I will take a peek at the Aarma. I thought Hot Bodies only made bodies?

    The really nice part about the inexpensive part is that the cars are well equipped with quality stuff, not some cheap piece of poo.

    On the surface, they look similar toTraxxas products. Sounds like they are rugged like Traxxas products as well.

    I would say that for the money, Arrma makes a very good product that compares very well to the Traxxas.

    So I’ve had a love hate relationship with my spawn.

    Curious to see what everyone thinks of what it’s worth. I got it in June last year and I’ve had more time fixing it after a stock part snaps.

    Thinking 400 shipped was a good price but not really sure

    Have any of you that ordered one if the mini yota's gotten shipping info? Mine is scheduled for delivery tomorrow


    Seems reasonable at $400

    Axial has a history of using crappy plastic. Front end stuff is usually the first to break from my experience. Aside from that, I have really liked my Spawn Wraith.

    Considering the upgrades 400 seems fair to ask. It would be around here, but I would assume the marker differs location to location.
