USA Retail price guess
 

Look for about a price between 409~440$ on this bad boy in the states.... .. .I'm sure some shops will have them in this price range:nod:... now when is the states getting this car.??? Same time as Japan... or will there be a wait:weird:
-Dave:tire:

whoooooo i got the name right! :D MR4TC BD

any ideas about the batt slots?

My guess.....
 

Purely to protect the underside of the cells? Doesn't matter to me I'd have to adapt it to take stick packs anyway.:D

could be... i just wrecked a pack of fukus tonight because they were sticking out too low.

its looks ok, but it sure as hell looks like it will be flexy. theres no deffinition of the car. everything looks a bit mangled and wishy washy. i think this is because of the milled out sections...

They look similar to the 12L4 ones... maybe you will be able to shift thhe weight back and forth with them like on the 12L4??:weird:
-Dave:sneaky:

Yes but.....
 

Those milled sections of the car are Blue! :cool: :lol:

My guess on those battery slots would be to accomodate 3700 and 3300. Since the 3700's are much bigger than the 3300 it would make sense to make different plastic inserts than a whole different chassis.

Just my guess

I'm guess the battery slots (if you look closely they are plastic cell holders) might be for different battery types? A plastic holder for GP3300.. for GP3700.. for Sanyo 3600... etc... This assures better battery fitment...

haha, posted at the same time...

those battery slots look like they have been changed with photoshop!
What material would it be be made?... doesn't look fimilair to me.

As long as the spur gear is easier to get to than the old TC!!
That was no fun. Looks pretty good. HAve to wait and see what the drive ratio is!!! Lower than 2.5 i hope!!!any body keen for a guess?
