You cannot compare the Pro-Pulse to xmods. A different class of vehicle all together. If you had Xmods and have looked at Pro-Pulse I should assume you noticed the difference. Download one of the owners manuals at the RS site and take a look at it. I purchased a buggy and a truck from RS. When I found them on Ebay I bought a buggy, one of the $50ones. The Ebay models come in a plain shipping box, not the retail box you see at RS. It IS the same vehicle.
I got one from this guy

Fast shipper and he sent me a tracking number. The vehicle was brand new and still had all the protective film.
If you get more than one BE SURE to put in the notes you want different channels as you cannot specify this when you choose to bid.
My wife runs the truck and it has survived smacking walls (brick) and curbs many many many times and has went swimming in puddles twice (don't try this I think I just lucked out). I have had to glue down the ESC and receiver several times and replace bumper bolts but it keep on flying. I got the 1400ma batteries and run them in a large parking lot next door every evening it is not raining. We hav about 80 hours on one truck and one buggy and 60 hours on the other buggy with the high speed motor. They are fun, durable and well worth the 100 bucks at RS and the 50 at Ebay is a steal. Wo do very much enjoy the fun we have with the Propulse vehicles.
I have 4 Xmods and two tracks (RS large and oval) and 4 other Xmods for the grandkids to beat up. These are fun too on the rainy days but the ProPulse is really a hobby class vehicle.
