What's the Associated MGT going to sell for?

[RussTKD]

Not MSRP, but the street price?

My guess, $549. Add batteries and fuel.

Any others?

I'd guess under $500, but not much under. There is an imaginary line for vehicle prices, depending on the type, and for the big trucks, $500 seems to be the price topper. It may only be $10 or $20, but say $489 sounds better than $510. With the exceptions of those OFNA 'show truck specials', everything found on a quick check of Tower tops out at unfder $500.

Pre-stock prices are always higher, so that's worthless, and new kits are usually more expensive at first to cash in early on.

around $450, give or take $10

The real question should be are they ever gonna sell them?

[Speeed]

MMMMM i think they r definately gonna sell.

I think i could honestly say that if im looking into buying the BFT as soon as it comes out i would buy it..

Usually i would wait and see what other people that have bought a product have to say about it and what they like and dont like..

But to me a company like Associate which in my opinion i cant honestly think of one R/C car that they have come out with and sucked. I will go and just buy it if i like what it looks like..

I think this truck is gonna be a definate winner and is gonna be a the truck to beat, based on associates record of cars, stadium trucks, and buggies that they have come out with in the past...

Hmm...

The RC10B2 could be considered an 'oops', since it didn't really match the racing at the time and got the B3 evolution soon after it's release.

The RC10L TC was kind of a flop, only because all pan-car TCs were. Great car, poor genre. Same with the RC10DS: Awesome car, but touring car racing went indoors and nixed any advatage the DS had over the low, stiff TCs on parking lots. They could have mad it easier on themselves by making in an even 190mm, using conventional TC bodies and wheels/tires.

Still, Associated hasn't released such a unique vehicle into such a crowded marketplace, or with so many delays like with the MGT. I bet they lost of a lot of customers who saved up half a grand to buy one when it was set to come out, didn't see it on the shelves, and went someplace else. You guys must know how hard it is to sit and wait when you have the money to buy SOMETHING sitting in your hand.

I would be willing to bet that they will sale everyone that they can get to market for quite awhile. I know guys that would have bought the Savage but are hanging on to their old truck waiting to get on pre-order list because of Associated reputation.

I know that in the UK it is going to cost £500 ($800 USD) RTR

[ViciousKnives]

yeah, it was slated for christmas, then spring, and now summer... i for one am not going to wait for it. i'll probably either go pick up an Ofna Titan if i can get the money or a Savage if i can't.

Good things come to those who wait...:D
