I watched it and for some reason was completely underwhelmed. I couldn't put my finger on why, maybe because it's so close to a 1:1 car, which I'd rather drive than control standing outside the vehicle?

It's weird, I should be geeked out over it, but with the size and sloppy handling with the suspension camera angle, I just couldn't get into it.

I have to agree with everyone else, totally underwhelming. You get something that big and you want to be riding it yourself, especially for THAT amount of money. That is just crazy.

The center of gravity is too high, that thing wants to roll all the time, I'm betting it's quite a handful to drive.

Personally I would go the other way. For me whats interesting in scale models is the smallest package with all the functionality. Like those small v8s and that scale Ferrari that Italian guy built. If at 1/3 scale it runs 15k, well i could buy an actual truck. Cool some one did though. But as production no thanks.

It's already rusty and the handling looks shockingly poor!

May as well buy a quad bike if you want large scale fun.
