Someone call Microsoft! This nitro injected radio controlled behemoth that was found on Hobby Media looks like the red-headed step child of Halo 3's Warthog. This reminds us of that old Conan segment where he'd show you what a kid would look like if two celebrities hooked up. If a Warthog made sweet lovin' to Grave Digger, you'd get something that looked a little like this. Something you don't talk about at family reunions.

hey rc trucks arent cheap, you can build the 1/18th version for about half the price.
here is the starter kit of the truck 360fanboy posted
$249.00, you will need a radio and transmitter, batteries, motor, electronic speed controller, body, and lots more stuff

This + the new nerf gun (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/02/19/who-needs-a-ride-the-halo-inspired-rc-truck/) + Halo action figures = reenacting Halo with your cats.

Very cool, I made one based off of a much smaller form factor and the Joyride Warthog action figure. Here is a video of mine on YouTube and a link to my forums where I posted pictures of the build process.

ACTUALLY, that's just an Axial AX-10, and you can clearly see from the decal on the side, it's a Proline body. That means that Proline must be coming up with something.
That truck wouldn't be sold as is. You would have to buy the motor and radio gear, build it, and buy that body in order to have what's shown.
Nothing special.

By the way, that's electric- not "nitro injected". I hate RC nubs.

And I quote from the original post:
"This nitro injected radio controlled behemoth that was found on Hobby Media looks like the red-headed step child of Halo 3's Warthog."
What the fuck are you talking about? Proline obviously made that body, especially since you posted a link.
You're a dumb bitch.

The Nitro comment was an offhand comment about nitrous oxide, as in the thing is so monstrous it might as well be nitro injected. It said it in jest as it obviously ain't sporting NOS. Apologizes for offending RC enthusiasts, then again I'm dumb so what do I know :)
