I can see $300... that has kinda been the target price from the beginning from what I recall.

I would guess a breakdown cost (assuming a $300 combo)
esc $195
motor $110

I can also see the combo price getting bumped a little if things don't go as planned.... to like $320 but I think they are smart enough to keep it from getting too high. They want to grab the average joe market like the MM did.

I won't be shocked to see the MAP price at $299 with the "real" street price being about 10% less, just like the MM. How cool would it be to get a sweet 1/8 setup for $269?

price sells..

EDIT: Mr. Castle himself posted again today that it will be "under $300 street price"

Actually, MAP means minimum advertised price, so they can't really have anything below MAP. I think you mean retail. The MM combo's run 250 retail, 212.5 MAP, and dealer cost is lower than that.

If you look around, pretty much everywhere except ebay has MM combo's at 212.49

I would personally say the MMM retails about 350-400, MAPs at ~300

The motor/ESC would probably break down like this assuming its 300 bucks total for the combo:

200 for ESC
120 for motor


Personally, I would rather have the ESC cheaper and motor more expensive, but thats me.
