Well i ordered the car from http://rcbbmart.com/shop/
And the parts from race opt direct. Rcbbmart is team powers. The price of the car was more money ,but the shipping was free so it evened out.

i haven't opened all the bags yet..
the battery will need to be fastened down. I'm unsure if there is a velcro strap in there so i think i will have to use glasstape.
i will most likely use a trackstar 13.5 combo in this car. at least that is where i will start.
its been almost 20 years since i have used a FWD rc car (tamiya FF01 was my first rc car ever)
we'll see how this FWD thing works out....

Well my MTS FF PRO is in flight, I should have it Friday afternoon or Monday, depending on if Canada Customs want to work or not. I will post up pics of it as it comes out of the box.

Not quite that easy, nobody has them in stock if he wanted one asap.

From what I've seen and read the FF04 EVO was a limited production version and now we are waiting on the next iteration before we see any again

There are a number of FF03R's bnib floating around here in SoCal. I am sure they'll come up here on Rctech periodically.

Have you seen any FF03 Evos?? I've been looking for a while, finally have the funds for it, and missed the last one that was on here. Always a day late and dollar short...

anyone running the FF2014?

How did you strap down the battery? are you using glasstape sideways across and under the chassis?
need some advice.
