I believe you still have to order from overseas. Given that Wallace RC dropped WRC like a bad habit after picking up Infinity. Has anyone tried talking to Lutz about getting a car. I think he was working on distributorship.

After that the shock shafts kept bending very easy. The car did feel nice to drive after you bin the kit springs I used some mugem 1s the pistons seen to have the early xray problems where they swell and get stuck. Easy fix switched to some HB pistons and all ways good. I was really impressed with the drive train and how smooth the car was. In the end with proper support I'm sure it will be a strong brand.
I have had no problems with building the kit. Everything just fitted perfectly..
Also after 10 days of tough practice, about 8-10 hours of practice each day, and more than 300 laps every day I only bend a set of shock shafts, broke one rear arm and destroyed 2 shock stand offs.
I am very impressed with the durability of this buggy..

I emailed Raul Garcia about the SBX.1 and the GTX6. He said there was a SBX on its way to the states and the GTX6 would need to be special ordered. So sounds like for the most part everything would need to special ordered. They look like a good product and I like the fact that they are made in Italy.

Recently purchased this buggy and must say the build, and quality of the parts is as good as any other manufacturer today.
the car drives great and responds to changes.
send-it Rc is the us distributor. These cars will be showing up a lot more in the next year.

I have been running it for just over a year and I am super happy with the car..
Drives great, very tough, no problems at all..
I am now servicing it after 3 races and about 10 practices and it just needs cleaning, bearings and a bushing.
I am going to refresh shock and diff oil for the new season.
Generally it runs perfect, even if for the last 3 races I didn't find the time to service it!!
Also for a guy tha races for only 1 year now to compete with guys racing for over 10 years and get 2nd place in final b every time I think its doing well.
​​​​​​With some more practice I will climb higher on the podium..

Having run both the nitro and electric cars for the last three months the cars are great quality and very durable. They are easy to drive and a
respond to changes. Both cars drive and can be setup very similar.
The parts support is great from send it-rc with orders from Italy coming in weekly they have everything we need.
If you’re thinking about one of these cars don’t be hesitant they are worth trying.

Now that Lutz has moved back to Kyosho... this thread will dry up... and his remark about a quality kit (Kyosho) confirms further more that WRC need to step it up... i have the GTX so, I know what he is talking about.
