Crt.5 extended chassis ETA?

Does anyone have any inside info. on the completion and availability of the CRT.5 extended chassis. I know Mike is always busy so I hate to bug him personally with when, when ,when? My CRT.5 is on the way and will be built for the open 10th scale class at my Roar regional electric championships at the end of October. I saw the prototype pic that Mike posted and I must own one; hopefully before the event........
