Funnily enough me and my mate we're talking about his today :P

He got one a while ago for £365. It's a ford pickup truck, i'm gunna try it out on Sunday ;D

Ye the $200 + cost is whats putting me off.. I could buy a decent car (for a first car) for the cost of some of them. but if it's half as fun as it looks it may be worth it

Its fun when they work but they never work for long! Trust me :(

Plus my mate pays £20 per gallon for his Nos.
But you get 20/30 tank fulls out of a gallon :P

[Digital]

Nos?.... Fuel is expensive but lasts long enough to have a bit fun xD

[Colin-Roberts]

20/30 tanks is roughly how long run time?

[Digital]

Ever engine is different.. hmmm about 10mins i think

[Colin-Roberts]

$20 for 10 mins :o so a tank every .33 minutes?

[Digital]

not that much lol... Its like less then $40 for 5littlers

I had an FG Monster truck, it was great, 1/6 scale, ran on unleaded petrol (not nitro) and had a tonne of mods you could do to it, I picked it up cheap as it was off a mate but I sold it now (sold for £450+P&P but costs like £7-800 new)
