    Traxxas is trying to get into walmart too. even though i dislike basher vehicles, they are doing a lot of good for the sport. It's a shame they're selling non competitive 2wd trucks though :(

    looks like Tamiya is there too http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olstemplatemapper.jsp?id=pcat17080&type=page&qp=cpcmcat248700050021%23%23-1%23%23-1~~cpcmcat252700050006%23%23-1%23%23-1~~cabcat0714014%23%23-1%23%23-1~~q4661737433736b753138~~nf397||54616d697961&list=y&nrp=15&sc=HomeSP&sp=-bestsellingsort+skuid&usc=pcmcat248700050021


    *edit* there are a few name brands at BB now, wow.

    Interesting...

    I agree with what traxxas is doing, it should get more people into the hobby which is a plus, also good to see there putting money back into it with marketing. For the people who will end up buying a rc from best buy I think a traxxas would suit there needs.

    Traxxas is not for sale in Best Buy stores. They have a thing online where they are associated with specialty stores and their items get listed on the Best Buy website.

    Ended up cutting the carbon fiber motor mount out, couldnt get the right adjustment, but its all in now and bath tub tested. If i get off work with any daylight left ill get it to the pond and see how it runs. :D
