1 / 2
Our Verdict
The cheapest brushless monster truck worth buying. Two-wheel drive (not 4WD), 35 mph, and the build quality reflects the price. But for pure fun-per-dollar, nothing touches the Gorgon. It's a great way to find out if you even like this hobby before spending real money.
Pros & Cons

- -35 mph won't satisfy you for long
