They're legit.. but they mainly make on-road/drifters and buggies so it makes sense.
It's a good little truck. Worm drive too I think.
There is a mini and a micro... what are you looking for size wise? Scale looking maybe too?

RE: What to do with $100
I have a miniQlo, it needs a few hopups to be a decent crawler (particularly lipo/brushless), but once you've got them, it is as good as the finest comp crawlers for its scale. Even stock it makes the mini Losi look like a rank amateur. Great fun little car.
It is worm driven, yes, and there is also a MoA version. It's a shelf queen for me, sits on my desk, but its very cool, guests always ask about it.

Ok, so I should be getting some money for my b-day, and I would like to spend about $100 of it on RC. Here are my options:
1. Upgrade my Summit (already brushless and using lipo, so what upgrade?)
2. Build myself a cheap Tamiya kit w/ a mild BL system (leaning towards this)
3. Get a new micro to race with my Micro SCT
4. Get a roller (like [link=http://www.ebay.com/itm/Traxxas-Slash-2wd-BLACK-FORD-RAPTOR-Roller-w-LOTS-of-extras-/270996602749?pt=Radio_Control_Vehicles&hash=it em3f18a7ff7d#ht_3886wt_1185]this[/link]) and make it NICE
5. Something else???

Haha I have no interest in micro planes whatsoever. Thanks, though.
