phatchantz:

I bought one a month or so ago and it was actually 79.99 (120.00 off) so I couldn't resist. Its pretty quick with the stock tires. I've been pounding it about the backyard lately and takes a good beating. A bit hard on batteries though - a 3300 maH will last about 15 minutes at full throttle.

There are some pictures of my Hummer in this thread:

I had one of these I found for sale 49.99

not so good to try and modify for a crawler but I had fun in the backyard.
on the other hand though the market for scale hardbodies is good now. I sold mine for 100 bucks for just the body...

phatchantz, I have one of them. Good price, but I would never buy stuff from the source at thier regular price.
It's ok to run around in the yard. It has digital proportional throttle and steering. The tires are kinda small. It's motor is mounted in the frame. It has drive shafts (looks like coat hangar wire) to front and rear axles. Both axles have open diffs. I tried to crawl it, but it not to good. Maybe with some work it would work as a crawler. One mod I made is to lock only the rear diffs with silicone seal. This seems to help.
If you want to just zip around the yard there is also the "RAMMUNITION 4-WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK" with is on sale. It is the same truck but the throttle and steering is not digital proportional. It has bigger tires than the Hummer. The body is a Dodge pickup and the stickers can be removed.
