ECX Gets Down to $130 With New AMP Models

If the number-one consideration for your next RC buy is a low price, then ECX has good news for you: their new AMP models roll out RTR with a 2.4GHz radio system, included 1800mAh battery, AAs for the transmitter and a wall-charger for $129.99. The DB (Desert Buggy) and MT (Monster Truck) flavors are spec’d the same and share all their plastics; the difference is in the dressing, with the buggy getting narrower front tires and a rear wing (and a buggy body, duh).

Full details from ECX after the pics and videos.
