Haha. you ready?!?!? well with some small parts and some greases the shipping was around $59.00!!! I've learn to accept these kind of prices with this hobby plus its a Yokomo!!! To have it in the US is rare because of the part issue if you crash or something wears out. hey if you like I am selling my old rc12r5 converted to 5.1 http://www.rctech.net/forum/r-c-item...12r5-12r5.html

anyway,
I built it with 10days or so. I think this R12 is roughly excellent car.
For example, all of carbon materials and alloy parts are highly precised.
However, I found this car have some of problems. They are mostly
caused by composite material.
