Theres a reason behind that. Top truck on the market for a reason.

So you won't be racing it? Or where youre moving to you will be able to? As its alot of money to outlay if its only going to sit on the shelf.
It will definitely be raced, and be raced quite alot, as in probably weekly. The fact is though, I am doing research quite early. I cannot afford this hobby quite yet and plan to move to Seattle at the end of March (or as soon as it is warm enough to be safe to travel long distance in my Volkswagen GTI). I HATE Utah, after living here for 2.5 years I can honestly say all the rumors and prejudices against this place are absolutely true lol.

Once I find work in Seattle and settle down, THEN I will be getting back into the hobby. There is a decent chance that with the cost of moving and time to re-establish myself, that purchasing a kit may not occur until late summer or early autumn. By then there is a decent chance that Tekin has won the debate, as since the EB48.4 is already released which means the 4th revision of the Truggy may be released by the time I am ready to make a decision.
