Sup, the cheapest one I`ve seen is the swift and it sounds like a good buggy! At my lhs it`s 389.99 just the steering servo and change the pull start to a box start but you can wait for that or you can try finding a roto start.

Storm is good. Great radio. Good engine. Tons of hopups.

This has been discussed very recently here, look around you'll find all the information you could possibly need.

I very much agree with Cbreaker I totally forgot about the gs storm thats the way to go best rtr on the market at a reasonable price. The swift was cheapelly made it was just a thought.

eBay =)

I got mine shipped to my door for $355. brand new.

My friend paid slightly more for his ($370) but his is the newer "2003" model, mine was an older model, although never used.

Remember that there's a lot of little extras no matter what one you get. Figure that you'll have to spend another $200 for the required gear, batteries, chargers, fail safe, new shock towers, various fluids..

I say Shock Towers because the Storm RTR's towers are severly weak. They will bend on you just from driving the thing. Replacements aren't very expensive.

Overall it's pretty tough to beat the Storm RTR in terms of value!

THe xterminator is like the Mammoth. It has many weak spots. The shock towers are easily bendable as with the chassis. Actually the Pro is good but the 100+ dallar difference is too much for me. I prefer to look at an Ofna or a kyosho.

The only major difference between the two, is the lay down servos....
