I still can't get over the fact that the price of a NT1 is now $489.95. Given that a set of front CVDs cost $67.00, that makes the base price of the car only $422.95. Didn't I read somewhere that they were throwing in the front CVDs for free? [ http://www.redrc.net/2007/10/xray-nt1-2008-chassis/ ] Wasn't the going street price for the original car only $400?
What's up with this $90 price increase???

For 301 the 45/40 or 42/40s should work, but invest in the 2.4mm sway bar. 4mm chassis should help, but is not necessary to get around the track fast.

The euro conversion is what's causing the rise of the price, just my guess.

Currency is certainly a contributing factor. 
Based on the change in value of the Euro, the price should be about $450 - an increase of roughly 12.59%. The kit price itself has gone up 22.5%. Any ideas on what could make up the remaining $39.95 difference?
