Also the cheapest shipping option I use only takes 7-10 days to arrive in the US.

Because of the decreased value of the Euro it's interesting again to buy from EU based shops.
and if you do that awesome but Toni did not do it.

Has anyone else noticed how little of a change from kit setup it takes to make this car awesome?

The shocks build up pretty nice. I'm surprised how much play there is between the piston and shock body. I didn't need drilled caps to get very little rebound.

I keep hearing about how good this car handles, but is it really much different than an t3/t4 or a tc6.1 as far as how it feels on the track, more so carpet track

I can see why the graphite plastics might be more brittle than other brands. There's a LOT of graphite in there. The pieces look fuzzy.

Gotta love them. It's sad that I can get stuff quicker from them than I can from Tower that is like 4 hours away.

The car is almost getting boring to be honest it's so good.
