don't worry about the price, I'm allowed to sell a Nikko for $500 if I want. The buyer does not have to buy it if they choose not too. If you got a good deal on the truck that's your buisness. That truck is worth $450 IMHO. It would cost over a grand to buy a new T-maxx and make that one out of it. They say selling price of RC is half what it's worth so $450 is decent
