That was for a pre-order price. I don't know how much they are now.

I got it from RC Champ. They have a sub forum off the main RC Tech forum here:

http://rctech.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=87

I'll be racing it at Boronia on their Open nights, where you can run nearly anything electric. Might even try it at TFTR, since their rules on chassis are usually less restrictive.

Thanks for the link.
TFTR seems to be alot more of a relaxed atmosphere also , and i have seen cars without the numbers put into another class so they can get a run at TFTR , hopefully this chassis takes off and starts a new class of racing.

Quick question:

Do you have to cut the servo case mount to mount it on the chassis?

I want to know about before I buy this car.

Default We'll need a report!

As soon as you can we'll need a report as to how this car handles. Can you do a carpet and asphalt test for all of us?

Well looking at the photos, and remembering the f104 mount, I would have to say yes you will have to cut of the mounting tabs again. But you can't be possitive untill it shows up.

We set the 'Stang body on the 58351 Chassis, cause that is what is here BUT!!! what about using this for the F103GT front and rear, the Wheels have a 6mm off set, 183mm + 12mm total offset wheels = 195mm +- 1mm everything adds up to a killer Slammed Trans-Am look Tires tucked inside the Fenders, 26mm tire up front, 31mm Rear. If you can't afford the real thing at the Barret Jackson, hell make a small one
What are those tires and rims from?

Got my F103GT today. Will take some pics of it when I get home. It is in a bright red box, a bit like the 415 boxes.

Oh no, not another "High Performance R/C Model For Advanced User"!!! I'm not an advanced user! Oh well, I'll keep mine anyway. Here's my new toy.
