Josh, I am glad to see that many years of your hard work is finally coming together and from what I have seen and heard about the new car and it's components TOP will have one of the best touring cars out there. I look forward to purchasing one when I come back to racing.
Good luck!
Good luck!

About the materials of this new chassis kit, i wonder to know instead the plastic materials, will be the alloy and carbon parts of the car will be made in Japan like before for Scythe?
Even Yokomo BD5's main parts is from US, why not now TOP's kinds will be made in US and Japan?
Best regards

Off course even myself want it be totally made in Japan, in the case i am living in asia zone, for me is much more an advantage to be the chassis made in the nation of rising sun, even to have better price and easier to find parts, isn' it?
As i saw Scythe is made in Japan just because is designed and developed by 2008 All Japan Expert class 2nd place driver Yamazaki-san, isn' it?
Since now this new 1 is design by american so is naturally made on the same site, to all facilities to be easier to access and follow?
Another thing i want say, here is the latest news details about Photon

So, my matter to buy it is depended the price and material quality then i hope it has like Xray, internet's customer treatment to be helpful for setups to make the customer drivers competitive in any kind of race condition.

Still i believe that the quality is ok and the service i have no problem with.
I have a good online shop were i buy my parts from in the Netherlands.
Hanglooseracingproducts has a very good service.
I use my own setups. don't need that to make a choice.
I love the way Xray did. It's the best setup sheet and way to do it from all the cars.

The car looks great! I will be in the market for a new car in a couple of months. This will definitely make my choice harder. For me to buy this car the price will have to be right and parts will need to be available. The features I like are the shock tower mounting (no tower tweak), and it is VERY lipo friendly. My choices are between the new RDX and this at the moment. Luckily for me I have Corally and Top drivers at my home track so support should be easy to get.
I know these questions will be asked 100 times but...
When will it be available in the US?
What will be the approx. street price?
