This is pretty cool, a bit spendy, but cool none-the-less

I think it's worth $100, but not $700.

I agree I think his BIN is a bit high...but to each their own.

I wish he'd have scratch built...or at least modded the tracks. I think the way it's sitting on stock Hiss tracks makes it look a little odd and off balanced.

His work is always amazing. I like it and think it is worth the hundred and change it will end up selling for.

The HISS II tracks would've worked better for this one, IMO.

I'll agree with you on that, or the DTC HISS tracks. One thing that has always bugged me about the HISS design is how the space between the tracks has always been filled in. Toy design-wise, it probably gives it more durability and hides the axels, but as a real vehicle, that would be a hinderance. If this custom were mine, I'd have at least lafet that space open.

For $700 I'd want working tracks powered by a working motor.
It is a cool custom though.
