"Invested $100,000+"?

Wasn't this thing in "Road Warrior"?

Completely and utterly a waste of money.

I know where this truck is parked and have seen it many times. It looks like it needs some work but its pretty cool in person.

Also that thing does not look that nice right now as those pics he posted are really old and from at least the last owner.

It looks like those cheap R/C's they have at ToysRus for $20 that have those monster wheels, a little motor that barely moves it, and no realism to it at all.

looks like the rear fenders would contact the tires under normal acceleration :/

If that thing wasn't slammed to the ground it would probably be fun to drive.
