The transmitter seen in the first pic does not exactly fill me with confidence... but hey.. if it isn’t too crazy expensive, I’d buy it only for the hull and such. Got a 6.1s laying about that would be just fine.

It's not cheap at $538 US. For that price you get the crappy electronics, plastic road wheels without rubber tires, nylon tracks, and probably plastic idler/sprockets. That same transmitter came with my Hooben ZTZ-99A and it's junk. My ZTZ-99A has pretty nice details though and you will get a nicer hull/suspension with this tank than on the ZTZ.

If it, indeed, is the actual street price, yeah.. ‘no go’. ‘Nice try, goodbye’ as they say.

Every time I see this tank I have to keep myself from saying Mer-va-ka instead of Mer-ka-va
