Has anyone got one of these?
Has anyone seen it perform?
It must be great. Traxxas made, uses real fuel and spark plug, 1/6 scale (66cm long). Have to go and get a rag to wipe up the dribble. :p

it looks like a very impressive buggy. i would suggest going to the traxxas rc fourms. at www.traxxas.com, they have a seprate fourm for the monster buggy, and there are seversal people with them there

One guy at my off-road racetrack has one of those. It was pretty cool, but I did not get to see it much. It was so big, when he tried to run it on the track, he could hardly maneuver it. Its tires were bald too, so it did not get much grip.

they are neat buggies to show off. not so much race buggies but sorta like a rally buggy. they weigh about 22 pounds so that can keep its wheels on the ground. the engine is obviously really powerful and it does let out a substantial amount of power but i dont think its a good jumper or racer overall.

I saw one running at a bash we had here once, he ran a few laps around the track with it and it looked like allot of fun. It appeared to handle pretty good, especially considering its size and wieght. Sounded awesome too...:D
