$20,000 eletric 6-wheeled, 1/4 scale monster truck!

[tperkins]

just check out www.neweramodels.com it is the biggest, baddest montster truck i have ever seen!!!!!

[AEAddict]

All's I can say is "WHY!!"

[Speedtester]

That price has gotta be a typo. I dont like the way the thing looks either. It should have an extended rear like a Bigrig not tires in the middle.

Its still different though and a good find.

[caponeman]

For that much money, you could buy a car and DRIVE it. Why would anyone pay that much for a radio controlled vehicle. I would be interested to see the performance. I bet I could smoke it in Honda Civic. Then I could take my Honda Civic to work. I could probably buy a car for a few grand, then spend another couple grand and make it radio controlled. For less money I could have a 1:1 scale radio controlled car.

[Racerze]

Caponeman LOL! I bet some enthusiasts with too much money might pick it up. Way too much money. It looks fun though.

[jives]

Got to be a typo, their gas powered ones are cheaper than that, unless the thing has it's own fusion reactor or somthing :)

Got 20K burning a hole in you pocket and need something big might want to read this thread (http://www.radiocontrolzone.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=76664). ;)

[Speedtester]

Hell yea, for $19,900 go with this

[Titadntbust]

It does not appear that they want to sell to many. There where no really spec. to speak of. They did how ever have some killer deals on Tmax 21 conversions. I know what I want for my B-Day and it is not a 6 wheel monster slouth!! :confused: :confused: :confused:

...how about posting a direct link to the truck rather than me having to fish around that corny website lOOking 4 it.

[3.0 SHO]

more like $2000.00:) :cool:

[tperkins]

sorry techspurt, the link is www.neweramodels.com/cgi-bin/item.cgi?part_id=521 . this is the stupidist rc creation ever. i wonder how much money new era will lose on this one...

[E-rexx]

That is so ***! The middle wheel does nothing except make it look ugly! They do not get any power or even help steer!!

That is the biggest waste of money I have seen! :confused:

[tperkins]

i just got an email back from new era, and $20000 is a typo. it should be $2000. that makes me feel just a little bit better about this truck!

Its on the main page.:rolleyes:

[Techspert]

like most typical 1/5 and 1/4 scale cars and trucks, I bet that truck is a pure let-down in performance especially in comparison to its 1/10 and 1/8th scale counterparts.

$19,500.00 is close enough to $20,000. :rolleyes:

Next time you have 20k laying around send me the 500.00
since 19,500.00 is close enough for you!:D :D

[jives]

No way, the $500 is still $700 short of paying the taxes on it :)

Where I live $19,500 = $20,750 after sales tax, big difference between the sticker price and cost of ownership.

[nitro pede man]

remind me to never move where you live ok

[jives]

Getting OT here but it's only 6.5% sales tax, there are places with much higher.

If I buy anything over $5000 I can expect the State to find away to make some money off it at some point :)

Example I bought a 10'x12' Metal shed to put up I think it was only $400, after the permits, slab I was getting into it for near a kilo buck...but I get the pleasure of paying for it every year come tax time. :)

[Reumster]

I want to see the picture of the only true 1/4 scale R/CMT replica!

It's a New Era 1/4 Monster with this working 1/4 blown 427 in it!

I want to see it BAD!

That link doesn't work just runs and runs, never goes to any site???

[2_much]

All's I can say is "WHY!!"

All I can say is "Why not?"

actually, i can't say anything from heart failure. So.........good.

[Reumster]

Why not just buy a Mini Monster and convert it to R/C?? That's what I'd do!
