I wish I knew what happened regarding the missing wing mount hardware. I informed the Proline packaging dept. regarding this apparent problem. I think we just plain messed up. Sorry for any aggravation we may have cost the guys that got these mis-packaged bodies. (monday mornings and friday afternoons can be rough - I guess )
Regarding the new DNA1 body with rubber tires - " no worries" as soon as I return home from Australia (I'm here for the IFMAR Gas Sedan WORLDS) I'll be finishing an "all purpose" type DNA1 body for use with rubber tires on carpet and/or asphalt.

I gotta dissent and say I hate to see bodies like these come out. Can anyone say NASCAR? It doesn't even need to be a real car anymore. Just sorta kinda maybe look a little like one. Or a few. Or not.
No offense to you, Dale. You're just taking advantage of the rules as they stand. It's ROAR that is ripping the heart of RC apart.

The problem with RC, especially in touring car:
$400 for a T2 (fill in your own car, price is only off 10%)
$120 for the BMI carpet chassis
$75 for ceramic bearings
$150 for a top shelf speed control
$100 for a digital servo
$200 for 3 six cell packs of the latest and greatest high voltage cells out there.
Over a thousand dollars, just in the car, to run in stock!!!

Seems like most of you guys like the DNA1, as well you should - it's a sharp looking sorta-car-thing. I just wish ROAR would listen to the rest of us that would like to see more scale realism preserved. No need for scale realism when it's not even a scale reproduction, huh?

Ive spoke with Dale about it several times and its ablsoutly rediculous what kinda of hoops they have to go through when dealing with real car manufactures......I wouldnt do it either if I was him and hope Roar NEVER goes back to that!!

Granted. So long as the cost savings of not having a registered mark are passed on to help racers on tight budgets (aren't we all?), then I can support that. But are they really any cheaper?
