WOW I HAVE to get one!!! It's just sick looking and I'm sure (it had better be for a kit) it will be a reasonable price. I just changed my mind about never getting another "street" car.


I will spank a nitro any day...guaranteed. :)

These where slick and made by tamiya about 7 years ago. 4WD, true formula one cantilever suspension, very nice. Can be found like this used but you will pay for it.

WOW.

In related news, I'm hearing 6/30 on the HPI, price around $130.

I can just see that beast with a 22 series neu and 10-12s power! I bet that would be fun to run on a motorcycle track! We have one a few hours south of me.

Got pricing on the FG - $1700 for the RTR, $1492 for the roller + motor. Way outta my price range!

Here in Europe you get those Tamiya F103 and F201 VERY cheap. 30 euro for a roller sometimes. And those FG's, 1:5 are DAMN expensive, even if bought used. Before I started at my LST I thought about the FG but they're so damn expensive used...

But $130 would be a good price for the HPI IMO
