All about the hobbyking basher.

Well since I have been thinking about this truck a lot lately so I thought I would post a bit of info here and about it like its closest competitors and what is known about the truck at this time.

Well the first views of this truck where on the Hobbyking facebook page October 18, 2012  and at the time everyone was focusing on the soon to be  named SkullCrusher 2wd monster truck that Hobbyking had been teasing  everyone with .

As can be seen in the photo's they had rigged it up with lots of cameras to use it as a chase car  for some of their online video's.

Then all went quiet on this Truck till 6/1/13-6/2/13 and Hobbyking unveiled it at RCX  and a website had sprouted up with no announcement http://www.basher.com/ and then a video appeared.  On YouTube for RCX  and then another just featuring the Monster truck after that another video just teasing us with a frankentruck version . 

Now after paying attention on the last video it is stated that the truck will have a $250 dollar price point and that was a big deal as everything up to that point was just speculation . Somewhere during all this the Hobbyking TrailBlazer 1/8th scale MT disappeared from the US warehouse and I suspect others to make way for this monster but as of now it is still a no show .

But here are the pic's we have to go by for now and the spec's as currently published.
