I thought I saw the whole story on another site....
The guy had this fully tricked out Maxx, but then he decided he wanted a full race Revo, so he got this flamethrower truck buddy of his to torch his Maxx and filed an insurance scam claim. Well, the guy collects on his policy and then finds out that someone nearby had filmed the whole thing. Next thing you know 20/20 is on the story and they uncovered a whole ring of RC truck chop shops and how guys are washing titles on LST's and 777's. Well, it got so deep they had to back off because some guy in Chicago with connections to a local "business family" somehow called in a favor. Something to do with a video he had of somebody who knows a guy, you know how it goes.
Anyway, the end result was the truck burning video got posted on some RC site with the bogus story about two guys just wanting to burn a truck.
If you ask me, it was really a Chevy guy taking it out on some poor Ford guy's truck.....but that's just me.
