I spoke to the hobby co rep today and he told me they were unlikely to be getting any more 501's in, even after I told him how many people have got them and like them. There are 3 racing regularly at the club where I race and only 1 of them (mine!) came from the uk... If you take into account postage and customs, you'd not be saving a massive amount getting the car from champ, but it's the simple fact that champ have them (and the spares backup!) and hobby co do not. Shame.
