Yep. The model was a great one, and I think they are still around with a different name on the box.
But this series, although not nearly as laughably awful as they were when first offered, is still pretty much a joke. Here's a couple of punchlines...
" AMT’s robust, pre-assembled, tested and ready-to-race metal chassis"-- that would be the very soft metal chassis that refuses to hold adjustment and bends so easily you have to straighten it after every deslot, and was designed originally for a different shaped motor, hence the goofy and often ill-fitting "nosepiece" screwed to the front of the supplied motor.
"Premium boutique packaging"-- that would be the same box that they have used since the first offering- boutique? really?.
