I love surfing Ebay looking for whatever cool deals I can find. Well I've been searching for like..1:10 4x4 and R/C Monster Truck and these wierd lookin no name rides keep comin up; like the Titan Monster Trucks and this one that's caught my eye: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-R-C-Radio-Remote-Control-RC-Ele...QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem this seems like a great deal but I can't figure out what it is or what it was cloned from. I keep wanting to say it's a Tamiya Twin Detonator but it's only got one motor. I guess it looks like a good deal, everything's included..I just can't figure out what it is, that's what's bugging me the most.

Where do all these No-name manufacturers keep coming from? I took it as a Buy it Now and then I realized it wasn't. At first glance I don't see anything wrong with it but maybe if it was a Buy it now for less than $70, I might would have bought it..maybe. Isn't it odd? If it said Tamiya or Tyco or Nikko or Kyosho or something it would be okay...

Thoughts anyone? Just curious..it's of no concern really..I'm not planning on bidding on it. Atleast I don't think I am...you never know.

I see those things on the "bay" all the time... The people selling them don't know much about them other than whats on the box. I asked one time if a truck they had for sale was 4wd, and they replied "It has 2 motors, but it doesnt say 4wd on the box anywhere so we dont know".

I agree pretty cheezee. They are chinese left over crap that didnt sell during the Christmas season.

LOL! Nielsen the Cobra is the same truck that I posted! Haha!

The others are obvious Losi Mini LST clones (and not that bad lookin either; I can easily see where Mr. and Mrs. Bubba would easily get sucked in). I've known about those guys at World Toy for a long time.

They've got a bunch of different colored cool lookin Tamiya and obviously Losi Mini clones but they're whole gig is they've got the excessive shipping charges Racket cornered. For every single one of their cars you pay $40 to have it shipped. I'd never buy a damm thing from those scam artists.
