I am a Radio Shack employee.
I (just now) grabbed a "Mater" ZZ, a "Samson" MT and the rest of the MT accessory packs (1 motor kit and 2 tire/wheel kits) since the Samson and the upgrade kits were deeply clearanced.
To give you an idea, the Samson MT was 8.97 on clearance!
Add my 30% employee discount and we're talking new MT project on the cheap!
The way things are going, this might be among the last of the MT projects like this, at least for me.
We'll worry about that in the future.
For now, I have a project to think about!
It's all OTS (off the shelf) but I plan on replacing the antenna and of course I'll consider a 4-gear crawler mod on something like a tow truck.
We'll see!
