Then I saw the Leopard, and the rest is, as they say, history. Most people don't bother biddig on these items because they expect the price to skyrocket. This is $899.99 at Tower. I think 1/2 price for a RTR is awesome. Well, that was the PS3 money. Too bad Sony. You snooze, you lose. Kenchoco, I have to wait for it to get here Where are the teleport beams when you need them?

Man this thing is big. The DMD and battry pack are all in the turret. It's got a chassis that's 3 1/2" longer than the Tiger 1's chassis. Man, talk about power! I love my Tiger 1, but it's a 4banger and this thing is a blown V12. Night and day in terms of performance. This thing will climb anything. It goes right over my feet with minimal throttle(almost idle). You can 360 by steering to one direction, no need to apply throttle. I was going to buy a Tiger to convert for a project, but now I can't settle for less power.
