That's good to know, that was the bit of the B4 I couldn't get on with, it was almost like the two ends of the car were designed by two people who never met each other!

Get your set up right from the start, so check out www.rudebits.co.uk for the right weights as designed/tested/used by Lee Martin.

I'm in Australia, see who gets it first, built and raced haha

[DCM]

See who gets it first, hell yes.... I am gonna takes me time to build it though.... mmmmm love the Tamiyaness of it all

[fastinfastout]

oh well I've already won then

cos I'm going to rip into the build as soon as the package arrives

[DCM]

pmsl, I may just do a build thread, so all them Tamiya peeps can watch and explode infront of their screens... (disclaimer: I hold no responsibility on any injuries, whilst you filthy hair palmed buggers get excited over the pics!!) lol

[qatmix]

Ditto, The Champ TRF201x race is on

[DCM]

which company does Champ use, for parcels, and does anyones tracking number work, as yet??

[DCM]

I bet this pile don't last long

[qatmix]

Japan EMS post, usually comes through as parcel force in the uk. The trackign number wont work as they register them today and they will be collected and scanned tomorrow.

I think Tues/ Weds would be a realistic date

[DCM]

It will take a couple of working days to get from Japan to the UK, then forever to get from Heathrow or whichever airport handles it, to my house

[Smartalec]

Meanwhile I hear from a very reliable source that the Hobby Co. won't have them in stock until August
.........and that they will have a 6 - 8 week turnaround for the spares as they are not stocking them but will only get them in to order

[DCM]

And thats why, after years and years of running Tamiya, I just don't bother trying to get the stuff in the UK, as Hobby Co tells the shops, we don't stock it as we don't sell the kits, but then the kits are then over priced and always gets here late, so people buy overseas, then whilst they are at it, fill up on spares, ship it and still pay less than the kit in the UK.

I feel sorry for the likes of Mark Knight, who is desperately trying to promote TRF in the UK, only to have the one company who should be helping, turn and kick them in the bollocks.....

WELL DONE HOBBY CO!!

[GRIFF55]

your joking?
