Coming soon.
I will post more info and pics when Caster gives the green light.
They are producing an electric 1/8 buggy and truggy in both RTR and "Pro Race" versions. Details on the RTR components are not available at this time. The Pro kit will be released first while the RTR is being finished.
There will be more information at
www.casterracingusa.com soon, and will have a sign up list for those interested in purchasing when the first shipments come in.
Prices are yet to be determined, but expect them to be similar to the current Caster nitro cars. The nitro ZX-1R pro kit sells for around $400 through you local hobby store, and $425 direct from CasterUSA.
More will be coming from Caster. This is only the beginning, and ultimately will be a good thing for the E-1/8 market.
I used to think it would be a bad thing for guys making conversion parts like RCM and RCPD but now I think it will be ok because it will create a bigger market for these guys to go after.
I'm expecting something by the end of the month... but given the history of release dates and lynch mobs that follow... I officially make no claim of a release date!!!
