Looking to buy one of these bad boys, but was wondering who has the best deal?

Anyone?

No matter where you buy one they are all going to come in within a few dollars of each other unless a hobby store is willing to lose money, there just isn't much margin in a buggy of this price.

The best option might be to buy one from somewhere that can sell you all the other little things you want at at the same time to save you some shipping.

I'd go with DDM, its free shipping and they have great customer service. Also you can get all the other essentials you need, its a one stop shop. You get kool DDM mints to!:D

My local hobby shop, Ultimate Hobbies" has a web site and they're seelling it for $924.95 I think.

They have been in business for a long time (since I was a teenager 20+ years) so they know their stuff and free shipping too.

Also saw it online for 917.46 at:

I got mine from ebay the list price was 839.00 with 26.00 shipping and that come to a grand total of 865.00 and as long as you dont live in florida it is that cheapest place i have found and it was brand new with all of the new parts. I not sure if they still have any but i call them and up and they were very helpfula dn shipping was fast. but other than that i would go with DDM they were next cheapest
