Ok guys, so what are the early opinions on this car? Will be more than competitive with with mrx4/evolva/905r?

Where is this car built? Will parts support be good?

One last things. Now what will the overal price in USD be for the kit and a new MEGA engine as opposed to say an MRX4 with a current JP? I think it will would be intereting concidering the need to reduce the cost of 1/8 at the moment.

Yeah, I ran it up and down my street just to get the belts loose because when they are new, they are a little on the tight side. The body front body mounts are just some older ones that I used on my other 1/8th scale cars.

Yeah, pretty straight forward and everything went together just like any 1/8th scale on-road on the market right now. The instructions need alot of work, but if you have alot of building experience in 1/8th scale cars, it should be fairly easy.

Happytime R/C Hobby is the distributor of the XR/8. Since your located in the U.K. you can always order the car online through one the autorized dealers. www.ace-hobbies.com can send one out to you. Shoot them a e-mail and see what they can do for you.
