tower hobbies is one of the most popular shops in the us it is were i get most of my rc stuff. all of there products are first hand no used stuff they have great costumer service. the truck u are buying is ready 2 run with means it will have all the electronics with it and they wil be installed for you all u have 2 do is buy a battery and and a charger if you dont have one already. i my self own the monster truck version called the stampede and it is by far the most durable truck that i own i have had it for5 years and havent broke a part yet only gears have went bad(normal wear and tear though). u also should be able to find the lipo battery ur looking for right from tower also they have them. any more questions just ask.

I have had I think 2 issues with them over several years. One time a order I placed with them the box was damaged and a battery pack was missing. I called them and they sent another battery out no hassel what so ever. The other time my order said they shipped something they did not ship. Again I called them and the first person I spoke with fixed the issue. They might not be the cheapest place on the net but they are the best in my opinion. Keep in mind I spend alot of money there but it is nice to deal with great customer service.

One of our club members is still waiting for his RC, nearly 3 wks after ordering it from Tower. I've found Stormer hobbies is cheaper on many items and for an extra $5 I've gotten my stuff in 2 days.
