Seems like one of those fad things. Bunch of people will buy them, play a bit, get bored, then sell them off.
Eh, but whatever.. as long as you have fun.

I agree that for the price, a crt.5 would probably be a better option for the track. But if you are a backyard basher, the smaller size actually does help. Its hard to bash my crt.5 in my backyard, but my little 1/18th's are perfect for that space.

That being said, I'm still on the fence with these trucks. I think they look cool, but I still believe a properly set up vendetta ST or xray m18mt would blow this thing away (performance wise).

In my backyard my crt.5 barely cuts it. The only reason it doesnt get bogged down is because of the huge amount of power it has. My revo is perfect and my rc18t doesnt stand a chance.
