What's the verdict? Price seemed very reasonable.

Its very well made. I never own a 1/10 or 1/12 truck before but this one looks pretty impressive. Also comes with own ESC (3 speed) and sound and LEDs. You can get it without sound and LEDs. The ESC is a combo unit with receiver, but mine has an additional MFU/receiver. My guess is that if you order the one without sound and LEDs then you will just get the combo ESC/receiver. Trying to figure out if it will support 3S lipo but after checking on the web on similar ESC units it looks like it will (The MFU has labelling supporting 2S-3S).

The only thing is that there is not an on/off switch externally. All the electronics are in the gas tank and there is an on/off on the MFU but hard to get to. I did notice that there is an extra connection coming out of the MFU/receiver. I am hoping that is for an external on/off.

Also has this on the last page of the instructions........ (Its RTR but comes with the kit instructions).
