It is TRUE!! TURBO just bought a 1:6th scale Scorpion, and the grand total including tax was $52.91!! That's amazing. I've said it all along, that company is making so much money its not even funny. If they can sell it for $50, then its gotta only be costing them no more then $20 for each one. And at $149 before, that's like 700% profit margin. Amazing

We've gotta wait 12 hours for the charge though...

wow...$149.00 BigMike?  they were 100.00 until a week ago, never saw em at 149.00

so what mods (if any) have you made to the 1:6 scale...i'm in the process of relocating the upper shock mounts and cutting springs...what about moving the rears to the front?

My buddy just bought his so he has not done anything, and if I owned one, I would have to get a larger toilet first before I could "modify" it :rofl:

Two years ago when we bought our 1:18th Nylints, the 1:6th Nylints were $149. I've never see it for anything less... But I rarely go to Walmart

Walmarts are taking them off there ordering lists, to many returns of broken ones. SO people are going to have to find another place that carries them or better yet go to a hobby grade crawler. Atleast that is the latest news I have heard from the guys over a rccrawlers.com

Ya   the wally-marts here in Las Vegas have a few at each store.  But they are all the Scorpion's.  The man at wally-mart said if I came when they get their shipment in they might have jeeps then but they don't know when a shipment will come.
