Default Pro-Line Fuel Stick the $289 turkey baster.

Almost $300 is ridiculous and I blow money like crazy. I don't care if it's made out of aircraft grade anything. People will still buy it and.....finish in the exact same spot. It will be a good indicator of fools.

I said the same and was willing to go to $150 but that price is crazy and I have pissed away lots of cash on RC as well.

Ha. Trust me, PL will sell a ton of these. Just watch. Any time it appears there is a perceived product advantage one racer over another - the demand becomes furious.

Me? I'll stick with my $8 fuel bottle, thank you very much.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say I bet that the ones they sell, half will be bought by guys with 50% or more Pro-Line sponsorship.

That's funny.

Hey its 100% made in the USA. Really shows you how cheap the labor is in overseas countries. I bet someone comes out with a knock off for $49. If they haven't already....

VP Pro is 3D scanning one as we speak........


I see both sides of this. Everyone loves to chime in that they'd pay more for American-made products (many of those in the US, at least), and then when one finally pops up, all we hear "oh its too much." For a limited product, that's surely going to be majoritively purchased by those with fractional Pro-line sponsorships, it seems about right.

Nope, proline drivers were given no discounts on this item. Fyi, they are already sold out on prolines site.

It will definitely sell but not enough to make any money. The price is ridiculous. I give it a year 1/2 before its discontinued. It's like the exergen temp gauge it's cool to have but you really don't need it.
