Including every single part and the kit plus the 1 or 2 tools I’d need to get to build it and the transmitter+ receiver it would be $1,727.37 before tax or shipping. I’m definitely gonna be saving up for awhile! Amazing content and you’ve really shown me how realistic and amazing these crawlers can be. Also this would be my first kit.
