Anyone seen this yet, or perhaps bought one? :D I'm not a big Duratrax fan, but it looks decent and comes better equiped than the Half8.



"The Vendetta offers the best of both worlds: the ease and completeness of a ready-to-run combined with the equipment of a race-ready competitor.

Aluminum performance parts inspired by 1/8 scale racing. Track-tunable oil-filled shocks. Adjustable wheelbase. A fully adjustable suspension. A complete set of ball bearings. It's fully optioned, and what's more - it's totally ready-to-run. The body's painted. The chassis is assembled. And there's nothing left to buy. Motor, ESC, battery and charger, radio and "AA" batteries - the Vendetta has it all, and it's all good to go now.

Performance Features:

Anodized Aluminum Shock Towers
Anodized Aluminum Front Brace
Anodized Aluminum Steering Drag Link
Anodized Aluminum Driveshaft
Anodized Aluminum Rear Hinge Pin Brace
Fully Adjustable Suspension - Camber, Castor, Wheelbase
Adjustable Oil-Filled Shocks with Aluminum End Caps
Multiple Shock Mounting Positions (4 front/6 rear)
Mounted Pin-spike Tires with Foam inserts mounted on racing rims
Front and Rear Differentials
Shaft-driven 4WD
Complete Ball Bearings
Gear Cover fully encloses the pinion and spur gear
Two-Position Adjustable Wing

Convenience Features:

Fully Assembled and Ready-To-Run
2-Channel 75 MHZ Radio by Futaba

yea looks pretty good to me. except for the AC charger which takes forever to charge anything, and the pack is rated only 600 mah - not much runtime :rolleyes:
