Yeah, glassdoctor has one. Not sure if he's converted it to BL by now or if it's still Nitro...

I think Glass doctor got the kit, the roller is like the team built's by associated

there is no kit, only race roller.

yup - gonna run mine on nitro for a while. Still waiting to drop in my nitro engine:013: . My e truggy will be a 1/8th CRT conversion to go along with my CRT.5

...and no kit on these - Horizon Hobby is pretty much forcing the sales as RTRs or ARTR. From what I hear the kits don't do the sales volume (ie $$$) that the ready to roll packages do.

That's a shame, as I hate anything that's not a kit. But if it's you're only option, I'd hate the company.

Don't hate the company - It's the distributor (Horizon Hobby) that is forcing this.

Yeah, I don't like ARTRs much either. It's almost like twice the work. With the ARTRs you have to tear the whole thing apart and loctite everything; and you'll probably wind up having to pull the diffs to change the fluid and doing something with the shock oil. At least, with the kit, you can take care of everything as you go.
