Interesting..... but without a 2 speed or reverse, I dont think it will be able to compete with current MTs, also are those Ti turnbuckles? And last, what is the Est. street price? I wouldnt think any more than $350 RTR.....

it may resemble the duratrax truck, but 5 bucks says it has atleast double the preformance of the duratrax

even if it does look like the duratrax its got 1 hp engine. It probably has about a quarter horsepower more than the duratrax. That thing vs. a t maxx with its stock engngine would run rings around the the t maxx plus it's got metal shocks :D. It also has anti roll bars :)

LOL! Brutal that has Duratrash (oops hehe) Max ST suspension on it! Man those guys are cheap, oh well, at least you'll be able to get parts then...
No chance of you seeing me driving one of those...

Hey it looks good! I want 1, maybe I will get 1 for my bros b-day tho, it sounds right up his way and looks good too.
Hey Steve P when are you going to make a Schumacher .21XT-R 3E thread on here?
If it lives up to Megatech tradition, there will be no parts availablility. You will place an order that will be shipped next week and wait about three months before they truly ship..
Megatech and America's Hobby Center is a joke.. Don't even think of buying any of their products..

Yeah your right there arent any parts available. I just build my own out of aluminum, which works great. After you build a set of a-arms and a bumper, you should be allright.
