I would have to guess that most of the people that buy this chassis would use it for a little action here and there, but mostly show. It wouldnt be anyones main truck for sure. I have a cheeper truck for the bash action!
There is no need to bash someones idea just because you do not like or agree with their setup. Its obvious that no matter what the vehicle there are going to be haters and na sayers who will crticize its sale. If you look back over the years there have been many R/C toys that have not gone over big in the way of performance and/or design, but they still sold like hotcakes. This may or may not be the best performing vehicle available right now, but it is an inovation that is very limited in availablility. If you want it great, if not then don't purchase one. I think it will be a pretty fun vehicle to have in our collection. Just my 2 cents.
