Frsky does Trucks? New 1/18 Military Truck/Crawler with Independent Wheel Suspension

Hi,
Frsky and crawler?
Hard to believe.
Check this:

Frsky 1/18 2.4G 4WD RTR Rc Car Military Truck Rock Crawler

I would be most interested in the Frsky truck radio, but so far I could not find any pics.

3-in-1 receiver/ESC/lightcontroller unit with 10 A ESC and 180 brushed motor.
3 speeds (obviously no gearbox, but controlled by radio/Dual Rate)
Independent suspension (for a crawler?)
Wheelbase 180 mm
Metal gears
Metal CVD-driveshafts
1200 mAh 2s 5c (!) battery

Pretty interesting. Strange design choice with how the lower arms attach, having them so far down doesn't take advantage of the increased ground clearance that the portal hubs could have provided.

i think thats a pass, looks like super cheap plastic, not to mention the design of the chassis looks kinda horrid

But it is rather expensive ;-)

That's why I think it could (! not has to) be interesting...

If it would be in the 70 bucks range, for sure not.

But so expensive?
Why?
