yes they are around $40.00
in my case i did have one laying around from before.

granite voltage 4x2 $99
battery lipo 5200mah 2 for 33.00
adapter deans to EC3 $2.00
Lipo charger $35.00 (which i had from before )

$120.00 is not bad for a beginner 20mph plus speed car

How do you charge the battery? Just got the package but I guess these are no charger included variety, damn. Any specific charger I should be using?

Just received two of these scratch and dent trucks. The boxes are perfect, and so are the trucks inside. I get the feeling these scratch and dents are used to put them on sale.

Mine came in. And it was brand new. Just small damage on box. It says 30mph with optional pinion gear.
