Default Where to buy a 501x from??

Right, iv just sold 2 B4's today and a spare unused zx-5...Sooooo !

i reckon i'll have a nice 501 to try

I always try and support the uk industry, however £360ish for the car, is still quite dear. Iv seen it as low as £240ish on the likes of ebay etc.

Iv had a look at champs site, however they list 2 cars with 2 prices, does anyone know what the differences are between the 2, Im unsure on whether they will understand me if i email them.

Is there any other suppliers that you would reccommend me to use to obtain a car? If so, please either pm me or reply here.


Thanks

Col.

one is just the car, the other is with hop-ups included.

As for the UK, I am not sure if Hobby Co had a second batch, their first batch of 10 is sold.

There is a few in restock now though, its just the price that i think is putting off uk buyers. I rang them on friday to see how the stock situation is.

Ah! the hopups included. Do you know what that package would consist of?

From my calcualtions, It looks like the car on its own comes in at around £194 and the other price is at around £274.

Thanks

Hi Col,

From memory I believe the hop-ups included in the RC-Champ pack are:

- a front one-way
- a Tamiya Volac ESC (basically a KO-Propo VFS-1)
- a set of Pro-Line tyres

It's probably not much use to most. Champ do the front one-way for around £12 on its own.

I purchased my kit from them and was more than happy with the service.

Hope that helps!

Andy.
