Jimmy, I might just so happen to work in a model shop...
I've known the hobby co rep for ages and he knows I'm into my 1/10 electric off road, he did me a good deal on my DF-03 and a ton of spares for it. He came into the shop grinnign like a cheshire cat the other day and said "I've got something to show you which you might be interested in", and brandished a couple of pics and some spec lists of the TRF501 under my nose.
It took me all of 5 minutes and a phone call to the boss (so he knew it was for me and not for stock, so he wouldn't sack me when he saw the invoice!
) to get my one ordered up.
I'm really looking forward to building this thing, a couple of the guys I work with are green with envy and they haven't even seen it yet...
