MrNinjaIf you're new to RC -or- Traxxas make sure you know what you're looking at. Usually it's the 1/10 models are $600-ish... but this is a 1/16 model, so it's a Mini-Summit... and they're A LOT smaller and A LOT less capable RC (they've got problems getting through the taller grass in the yard)
If you're not new to Traxxas, and they just cost more in Australia thaaan... I'm sure I sound like a douchebag right now LoL
-just trying to help though :-)
