3. a decent radio!
4. MMM esc (granted its a new variant and will more than likely have some issues)

If you conservatively price out these by themselves I ended up with around $550 ($75 per battery, 100 for motor and esc, 200 for radio). Plus when was the last time you saw a car sell for MSRP? I'd be anxious to see what it would do on 4s and with some better servos.

Its by far the most innovative radio to come out in rc since I dont remember. Sure, its not a race radio, but it has all race adjustments with a screen that no one else has.
