Hi all....
Thanks for te interest. The first prototype version arrived with us on friday and was built up over the weekend. The car is ready minus wheels/tyres and electrics, just waiting for the body to come back from being painted and it will get its first run maybe this weekend or into next week now.
There are several more pictures of the car on our X-Factory facebook page and also from there severl of the big news websites have been reporting on it today also incluidng Area 52 and Red RC, there is a full info page now up on the Team Azarashi website too.
We will be doing a small press release on it tommorow confirming a few detials too, we are also hoping we may have the confirmed price for the UK by then also, but if not it will be ASAP. I expect the full RRP to fall betwwen £200/250 (but individual stire prices will no doubt vary) but bare in mind it is of the highest quality and from Japan so dont expect it to be too cheap......
The motor is actualy back by about 2/3rd of a motor length, since the stubby LIPO is longer than a normnal saddle, the weight balance is actually quite inetersting and overall it is a VERY light car that requires ballast to make it up to the weight limit (and there is handy pocket for that ballast to sit right in the front half of the chassis)
keeping the front to rear bias in check.
As for a good 2wd conversion, I dont think so, not in my opinion...
More news as we get it.
