hazelam
for that price you get an electric rc car?
you could probably buy the game and a nitro car for that money.
simplebob
Just googled the RC car. The car alone is $550 dollars from the official traxxas site – ouch.
cam the man
A bargain then.

Just done a quick search for the car and the cheapest I could find in the UK was £260.

That does look nice, but can you Imagine smacking it into a wall on your first attempt at driving the thing before some in depth Jambo tuning has been carried out on it :(
Grey_Ghost13
If been wondering if I give Jambo my car for a tunning session he can make so that I can get to work 5 minutes faster?
tonyyeb
Even Jambo can’t get rid of morning rush hour traffic jams!
