    US MAP is $390 which is £290. Seems high for a brushed model, compared to Associated's offroad vehicles. Shorty battery only is strange too. 

     

    I'm guessing a kit or pro roller version of this will be released, it's got spaces for roll bars, adjustable toe straps, adjustable links etc.

    Looks cool, but much like most RC’s out at the moment it’s overpriced, £279 with a cheap brushless combo and they would be onto something

    Surely that has to be a mistake with the price?  Their DR10 is brushless and £50 cheaper??

    You can pretty much imagine that Hoonigan charged a fortune for collaboration and licensing fees and sadly that cost ends up getting washed up on to the customer!

    DR10 isn't a licensed body hence the cheaper price.

    Maybe it's the additional cost of a second set of links for the 'active rear toe'......... 🤔

    Makes the hpi Subaru rally car look like a good deal. 😅 at least that is brushless or nitro.

     

    I think stupar hit the nail on the head. These branded rcs are 50% rc and 50% licensing fee.
