Anyone have one yet?

I've been wanting one badly, but it seems they haven't arrived in the 'States yet.

Tower Hobbies has it in stock now, but I'm not paying $230 for a mini with mediocre electronics and friction dampers.

Guess I'll scurry to the hobby shop tommorow and see if they can get a better deal on it.

Yes. I have been thinking of getting on.
But! I did not realize how rare or expensive they are in North America until just recently!? I just got back to Michigan from Japan about a week before Christmas, and I cannot find a TamShot anywhere here, at least not for anywhere under $200!?

Just before coming to Michigan, I was with my friend in Osaka back in October when he bought one, and for much cheaper than you can find here. I now regret not purchasing one myself at the time, then bringing it here with me.

I have almost all the TTG buggy series, but I want GB-03 4wd to mod and rip around too! It's a really fun chassis, and great platform for customizing.

There are many people who do custom modifications to the TamShot...
here are a couple of sites just for example:
Technical blog on custom TamShot + others... - click on dates on side to browse and look at photos if you cannot read. Still worth looking at.

Another Japanese blog:
SuperShot inspiration
click through the pages for more photos...

...lots of ideas at work here...
