Without the shock absorber spacers, it sits low, but needs too smooth a surface..
I just painted the wheels tonight
Like everything in life, it's not so cheap..
$245 for the rolling kit with no electricals $30 in paint and masking stuff. $450 in electricals: 6 turn brushless, special speed control, high capacity batteries. $200 for radio gear.
A little under $1000 for the lot I guess. But you could get it rolling for under $500 if you didn't want the CA18DET version
