Thanks,

Andy.

Id be curious as well, as i was told a uk price was going to be around £340.

Is this close??

Thanks

according to my source, I think rrp is about £355.

While I have always been a die-hard X10 fan, I picked one up - other than the box being a complete WASTE OF SPACE, the product looks nice. Lots of blue too. The kit seems to be a hybrid of YOK/BJ4WE/ORIGINAL. THe body is killer too. Good thing I already have saddle packs! I will get some photos when I can - now its off to walmart to get some christmas gifts!

I figured out that the rrp is around 380 but that was a very quick (and probably totally inaccurate) calculation I'd imagine most of the interweb places would do a certain percentage off (as usual, trying to undercut us shops who actually have a shop and have overheads and staff to pay... ) I'll let you know what I figure out the retail price at whren mine turns up later this week - I hope it gets here tomorrow!!

well, mine is finally paid for, they actually sent me an email saturday but since I dealt with them at work I only got it today. oops. I also have the oneway diff coming, cool!

[bender]

Just checked on my local post office site - apparently delivery was attempted today at lunchtime, pity I was at work

Oh well, at least I know I'll have it in my hands tomorrow afternoon.

[woOdy]

Any idea when yours is coming Jimmy?

[jimmy]

nope should of been here this week, but at least it will give me some time to get other stuff done I guess. Wont be racing it this coming weekend though!

[woOdy]

Thats just not the attitude to take. It should be possitive thinking. I will be racing this weekend. If you dont think it will happen then it wont.

The shock angles remind me of the Avante family of cars, with the fronts laying more flat than the rears.

Is it possible to use the old tamiya rims (topforce) with this car?

Propably not. It uses EA/Losi type wheels. A good thing for most racers.

Ordered mine on Friday, just got in as one of the last Pre-Orders! Any know of spares available yet, just my luck to go out and bust a wish bone

[jimmy]

Hiya mate, and welcome.
I'd give them a email and ask them, I would guess that spares would be out later, I mean, a week or two after the car. but thats just a guess - might be out now!

last time I asked they didnt have a release date or price on the oneway diff, but when I got my confirmation today the oneway was on there. so they have some hopups / spares for sure.

[stegger]

Rainbow ten have them listed here

Cant abide rainbow 10's website, pain in the frickin' ass!!! Plus too damn expensive lol! I'll just email champ!

[HairySteve]

Jimmy, where are you getting your front 1-way from and how much is it costing you? I asked Hobby Co if they had them in stock and the part number didn't even come up on their computer. The UK ones should be in Hobby Co's warehouse later this week so I should have mine late this week or early next week. I hope they get spares for them as well, if not I might go on ebay and pick up a complete car for spares, or wait til jr-rc breaks a couple of kits for parts

Hey up, its best we don't really discuss this sort of thing on an open forum for obvious reasons.
Champ are very helpful and polite.
