Niznai-
Let me know if you want one, my LHS has one on the shelf. All up with postage to the US, will perhaps land around 300$.
Thanks, but I had two, sold one and my other which has every upgrade and all the bling is waiting for the off season for some parking lot fun. I am good w/ one CR.
Raman-
The people that thought the CR was rubbish are the samones that think the m chassis is junk. Now that the m chassis is 3 generations in, they have take notice.
The CR was a pretty good racer out of the box, handled well. If it went onto a second generation, it would have done really well.
I agree with you, and not trying to start a Tamiya vs CR fight.
I think the CR was a great car for the "Mini" class out of the box. It was well balanced, 4wd, and easy to adjust. For the price it was a better value in my opinion than the Tamiya Mini class which is price slightly less but most of the components need to be replaced immediately (shocks, steering assembly, servo saver, etc).
Tamiya has done a better job to support the Mini class, hence why in my opinion the Tamiya M's have continued to do so well. They iterate on them, they don't keep throwing darts at the wall hoping for a hit (like HPI).
Anyway, I love my Tamiya Mini just as much as the CR, -I like the fact that it is popular, it is a class that almost every club races and there are lots of parts available.
