it doesnt come with any engine.
the engine shown in the pics is a Nova,in conjunction with its purple colour.
has it been released?it is for sale in Japan?yay!!!i think i'm gonna get one real soon.

well on the new releases section on the japan site it says the price... and i dunno about the engine but i think there might be one that comes wit the engine.. cuz theres 2 different kits... one is more money..

i noticed that,and i was wondering too..
but the difference is about 8000Yen , about USD75.
no way it can be an engine!!
but i'm guessing tyres and bodyshell and HOPEFULLY , manifold and pipe.

Okay, so what is the price in American dollars? Will we in America be able to order it before the US release date?

Highly unlikely for US to have an earlier release.
Even now,i still cant order any from Japan.
If u were to order from Asia,yes u can get it b4 American release.
RRP at the website says Y40000 and another Y32000
that is US360 and US280.
I'm contacting some retailers , n i will let y'all know the minute it's out in the streets.

hmm... i might have to get one for fun if its good... but my 705 will always be my ... well... main car..lol... or i want an fg competition evolution

apparently the more expensive version comes with the front one way and aluminum threaded shocks
and the foams are made by GRP

supra528

that would make sence... lol

the R40 looks good, but...it's HPI. I hope that it dosent break as easy ay my onld RS4 racer. That car sucked. It looks like it has the positives of both the MTx3, 705 and mixed them. I am waiting for some reviews...

supra528

what i think will also be good is that unlike the serpent which on the bodymounts has pins that you like have to hammer in, i think it will have the good old hpi mounts... but i still like my 705 better than any car..lol
