JherbzJherbz,
Retail price is referring to MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price) which is listed as $615.00 from Traxxas.

JherbzThis is actually the MAP price (Manufacturers Advertised Pricing) sir, they are used to guide retailers. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXEZPV**&P=ML, Tower Hobbies lists the MSRP (615.00) as well.

DaveHoffis there anywhere else that says retail is $615 because im thinking tower had it wrong. the poll for this was based on towers website which was wrong, this puts us with a stupid drop that no one will buy..

Ive found a few sites that list that as the MSRP. That price is set when the truck first launched. I can't tell if you are upset about this or just being pedantic but its completely routine in RC. Some tamiya trucks sell for 450 but MSRP over 1000.

jolmanmi just think that massdrop is known for getting great group buys on products.. they do this by basing their discount on real numbers. I understand now that $615 may be msrp, but its not a realistic number when you can go purchase one from traxxas at $350 and many other places for a tad over $300. I feel like when the person that set up the drop from the supplier had they known the going realistic price, they could have potentially negotiated a better price for this rig. Its more of an aggravating thing to me, wondering if whomever originally did the vote shot us all in the foot by doing this.

VenomousSVTI agree that the percentage of the discount should be off of what the common price is for the item, some stuff in RC actually follows the MSRP so those are easy, but with kits/RTRs its tough because of the range of prices out there.
When I see a "discount" price on a kit or RTR anywhere I take it with a grain of salt, maybe they can do something to fix that for this site at least.
