    Didn't like the Bomber?

    The Exo is a fun buggy to take out for a rip. Haven't in awhile, but I still have mine.

    The Bomber is fun but for my area I don't use it much. My go to is my Wraith or R1.

    at that price point I may just have to get one, if I can ever finish building my mini track in my backyard. After I started I realized its just not enough space for my 1/8 or 1/10 scale stadium trucks.

    Plus I haven't finished converting my SCX10 to look like my taco :thumbsup: Hopefully that will see a lot more attention over Christmas break

    I have no allegiance to any lhs here. Which is too bad. I wish customer service was better

    Ikaika at the crawlspace has done right by me and I like his style and approach. I'll give him a shot at any of my business as I always like the events he puts on too

    The leaked price was lower and from Tower left kelt no shipping. From Axial it cost more and the shipping is about $10 or so. Now it's knocking at the $200 door for a 1/18. Don't get me wrong, it is very cool. I'm not ruling out not getting one but I'll wait 6 months more and see how they hold up. Maybe pick up a used one for cheap.

    I imagine if I were in the US I wouldn't either. There are so many awesome online retailers down there. The reality is that when buying new kits and parts it is cheaper to buy locally here. The cost of having things shipped here kills the deal.

    Took me a while to figure out everything with charging the battery. But so far the bomber is a blast! Can't wait to start doing mods to it.
