I think the wait will be well worth it. Once the new Losi car is out the parts will be cheaper than other competing models and readily available through any shop that carries Team Losi Racing Products. Plus the fact that the car is very unique and will be around for awhile as we do not have any plans of releasing a new kit for a long time after the Type R hits the shelves. Whether or not this 4 or 5 cell racing hits the Type R will not loose its left to right balance as other cars will.
