We are convinced there are a number of U.K. customs officers whose kids have a great collection of R/C cars... Australia and Canada too. Canada's actually the worst; stuph just disappears into a black hole and you have no idea if or when it will ever come out. Japan is great -- stuph arrives in four or five business days and there are no taxes.

By a separate bulkhead, that's basically held the same way as the original shocktower. one bolt trough the top, the 2 in the bottom that also hold the toe-in bars and then the rear 2 bolts of the tranny which push down the tranny on the chassis, sandwiching the bulkhead in between.

Janus has it correct, but a bit confusing to me.

The original tower is one piece, while the new tower system uses two pieces -- the bulkhead and the CF tower -- to go in the same spot and do the same thing. You do not use the new bulkhead or the new tower with the original tower. The original tower is less expensive than the bulkhead & tower combo, and we still have original towers available. All Kits now come with the 4-Gear and new bulkhead & tower as standard.

The two towers, #3310 (original) and the combination of #1310 (new bulkhead) and #3311 (new C.F. tower) are interchangeable. We made it that way so all customers can fit either one to any car.

The original transmission and the new 4-Gear both work with either tower system. If you use both original parts, they fit right together. If you use all the new parts, they fit right together.

If you interchange, using either the original trans with new tower or the 4-Gear with the original tower, you must make an adjustment in your trans height shims, but it all fits together and works perfectly.

I hope this fully explains...

It's all in the hands of U.K. customs. Lesro is telling us they haven't got their shipment yet, and it went out on Dec 13th. Left Chicago O"Hare about noon on the 14th. Has not been heard from since.

Shipments sent on the same day to France, Switzerland, Japan, etc have all arrived safely.

I think somewhere there is a son of a U.K. customs official with a big collection of R/C cars...

I have a parcel (not from x-factory) that left the usa on the 12th (I've got the usps tracking number). It's shown as leaving the usa, but not even arriving in the UK.

Wouldnt worry about it too much now, it's certainly not Chazz's fault...there must just be a big backlog at UK Customs...frustrating, but not the end of the world
