The first two vehicles in the Pro-Pulse line, the Pro-B100 buggy and Pro-T100 truck, have chassis that are clones of the popular Team Associated RC18 series. They feature:
* Full-time 4WD
* Oil-filled plastic shocks

Radio Shack will be offering a wide assortment of its own parts, including wheels & tires, bodies, and a hotter motor. |

| my buddy Boney John bought one for his step son and they are junk ....... They dont come with a battery pack and they all TOTALLY PLASTIC ..... The battery through Radio Shack comes to 40 bucks before tax ........ They do scoot but i dont think thats going to be a big factor in sales from anyone from the pro grade hobbiest ..... JUNK if you ask me I have ran one and wasnt impressed in the slightest .... I say for the 150 bucks it takes to make that thing running go to your LHS or Tower and get one for the same price ...

| Seriously, i mean a mini-t with a nice battery pack is very fast in my opinion and gets people into the "high-grade" r/c world, and my lhs sells them in a package for $150. I mean come on radio shack, if you want to make money make a lineup of rc cars and trucks like XTM Racing has, and then see how much you sell.. Their sales would go through the roof with parts, accessories, and vehicles. |

| e-maxx man you had a MUCH BETTER one than that in that 18mt I sold you. It's the exact same setup but with plastic crummier than that of the mini-t. Every pro pulse I've ever had the chance to eyeball at RS has been broken in some form or fashion. If you want something like that don't waste your money at rat shack,, just dig a little bit deeper (and it ain't but $70 deeper) and get you an RC18 platform RTR from AE and have a blast. As hard as you run the RS version won't hold up for ya
