Duratrax Vendetta SC in stock
Posted on Friday, November 27th, 2009 at 2:25 pm by Jeff HoyTower Hobbies has the Duratrax Vendetta SC in stock. So if you’re looking for some small scale short course action then whip out your credit card and get to buying. You can get it in red, white, blue, or yellow. For $219.99 you don’t get everything you need. You’ll still have to provide a battery pack for the truck, a charger for that pack (with a Tamiya-Micro plug adapter), and batteries for the transmitter. With the selections I’ve provided you’re looking at another $59.46, or $279.45 plus tax/shipping total.
I’m going to take a wait and see attitude. Team Associated’s SC18 is just around the corner and may come in at a much lower price point. All of AE’s mini RTRs include batteries and a charger in the box, and all of them are below the $200 mark. I think the SC18 is going to be at or above $200, but still much less than the $280 total for the Vendetta SC. That’s not to say that the Vendetta isn’t worth it, we’ll have to wait for some reviews. It does come with a 2.4Ghz radio, instead of a 27Mhz AM radio like the SC18, that alone might be worth the (suspected) price premium for some.
If you absolutely must be the first at your track to have a 1/18th scale short course, then this is it, go get it. If you can wait, I suggest you do to see what Associated has up their sleeve.
Be sure to check with your local hobby shop first for price and availability.
