Could you pm with prices and where to get one from in OZ . I have had one back ordered for over a month in the US but would be willing to cancel the order if i could get one locally .

the D8 should hit Aus next week they are getting air freighted out to cut the time frame down, from what i can tell we should have them before America, or atleast the same time.

which should be a first for a new car

aprox price $500 depending on the shop.

anyone who needs a base set up just needs to pm me and its yours

i ran the car stock standard and was pretty impressed at the vic titles last month and placed 2nd, for the first time out was very impressed..

The D8 came out yesterday in the US , a few guys are already building there buggies .

I'm looking forward to getting mine but i will be converting it to brushless ( already have everything ready for the conversion ) and will be also turning it into a corr truck as it seems we might have a class for corr vehicles down here .

Price wise is only about $50 more in OZ witch isn't an issue.
floss got your PM , i have a mate with a store down here so will see if he can order it , like to support him .
If he doesn't deal with HB i'll contact you .
