Haha, well some cars really are overly complicated and that can happen. The Mini Inferno is a fine example. That car is twice as complicated as it needed to be. The xx-4s drivetrain is another fine mess. The Aero is a fine example of simplicity, though. At least from what I've seen.

I'm unfamiliar with the term "numpty" though, is there an actual definition? lol

The front are Aero, but well spotted.... I tried a set of losi spring when playing with rates today. I don't have the full range yet but Aero will have a full range of springs available.... with bigger diameter to match the shocks.

The car was flying today.. couldn't be happier with it!

Dave, i would imagine you will get a call/email sooner rather than later, if you think about how many people put their name on the list last summer and in the mean time they have bought B44`s etc or they just dont have the cash waiting right now.

I would imagine Aero would want to get as many cars as possible out into the public eye. Word of mouth is the best form of publicity afterall.

If they send me one, I'll tell EVERYONE I know about it What better form of publicity, all it would cost them is one car, and everyone on R/C Tech and everyone in southern California would know what a great car the Aero is

I really hope the number or cancellations doesn't come as a nasty surprise to them as well, like you say the B44 is now out, and the Serpent is now on peoples radar too. I hope it works out, its a nice thought to think of a start up company doing well!

525 Euros i think. The quality is excellent, and attention to detail, things like threads being pretapped in all plastic parts.
