[Elliott Hopkins]

That is one sexy car.

[jimmy]

sniffle

COME ON CHAMP

[stefke]

Jimmy,

Are you telling me RC Champ hasn't mailed you yet as you were the one that started the whole pre-order thing ?

I don't want to rub it in, but I received a message from Champ mine is on its way.

[jimmy]

lol, that is pretty much what im saying yeah! haha.

imagine if because I told a few people where I was getting mine- that champ have now sold them all!! I would cry.

[Bathy]

Out of interest how much, including shipping and import tax are people paying for these? I'm interested in getting one see, be wude not to have a few more cars!

[jimmy]

you could just order some Tamiya TRF stickers and put them on one of your BX's

[jimmy]

haha
it would be the same thing!

[bender]

I think mine worked out to about US$440 including shipping to Australia.

Champs mail service can be a bit expensive, I suppose it's the price you pay for very quick service

As for TRF stickers on a Yokomo


That would be like thinking the Super Aguri and Renault F1 cars have the same level of workmanship, afterall they look similar

[woOdy]

How cool does this car look!!!!! WOW. Looks better than the Yok.

[jimmy]

Don't do it woody, dont upset bathy.

I trust you'll be up for some driving of it then ?

[woOdy]

No. I just want to know who import it and an email to them please?

[jimmy]

You can try hobby company, [email protected]
They are "Tamiya UK"

[stegger]

Imagine the price of the car in this country OOOoooccchhhhh

[jimmy]

I was told their world wide prices were coming inline with each other more, but not sure how true that is.

[DCM]

£355, but I think the trouble is, still, companies like RC-Champ can afford to go buy in bulk and at distributor prices and sell to the public direct.

£355 in this country? that would be bareable

[DCM]

and I reckon you could get it for less, once they pick up, more agressive marketing.

Hi all.
Ive been looking around the site for the past month or so trying to decide what buggy to buy. Decided on the 501 x so figured this would be the best place for a first post. Been racing on road for a while and want to get offroad.

Jimmy - Great site!

Looking forward to talking with everyone. Thanks for all the info so far.

TRF 501X is on its way as of this morning.
