One thing I did notice:

I'm a kit person, but I would've bought this just for the painted body (I'm a lousy painter of bodies). But honestly, looking at the "items needed" section, the use of "RTR" seems a little misleading. If you need a radio, battery, charger, motor, and ESC to make it run, it really should've just been labeled "Preassembled" rather then an "RTR".
"ARTR," Almost RTR would've been appropriate too...
Just my $0.02
Ok, back to my SC10 build...
You didn't read far enough. I copied this off the same link.
Based on the 6-time ROAR National Winning RC10T4, the engineers behind the doors in Area-51 made the SC10 both, all show and all go!
The SC10 comes ready-to-run with a factory finished short course race-truck body, short-course style wheels and aggressive tread multi-terrain tires, all that have been designed to look just like the full-size race trucks that run in short-course off-road series around the country. The world of high-performance 1:10 scale electric R/C has never before seen this level of scale accuracy! At first glance it’s easy to see that the SC10 is another champion by design!
