I can tell you that the Border will not have the cars in February. The kits will ship the end of March to RCAmerica as long as there are no problems with the production of the kits.

Ralph when the kit comes on sale would it be the same kit as the kit you guys were driving in the NATS or would it be missing some hop-ups? Would you all be coming out with a Team kit and a basic kit ??

If you're not using your car for the next month I would be glad to do more testing for you.
I know... get in line. 
Thanks Ralph.

No one is twisting anyone's arm to pay $500 for a nitro sedan. If people can't afford it, they'll just have to settle for something cheaper. Plus, that's probably the full retail price.
What's the big deal anyway? It's not like this hobby is for people on welfare. Paying a difference of $75-100 dollars is next to nothing.
And finally, you don't see people going to the Ferrari dealership to bitch about how much a Ferrari costs, do you? If they can't afford it, they can just go down the street and buy a Toyota.

I didn't mean to start a debate on price. I was just eager to find out what the cost will be and when the car will be available. I had spoked to Ralph a few minutes before his post this afternoon and he told me exactly what he had posted. He also told me the kit would be available with the street price of around $420-$450. That's how you can get one delivered to TX for $501. Shoot, if it's comparable in price to the '007 that's pretty reasonable for a nitro sedan. My problem is that by the time I get my hands on one, we will probably be in the middle to the end of April. I just want something to build now and I don't know if I can wait that long.

Most of you guys are funny as heck. Most of you just recently plopped down 4 to 5 bones just months ago for you MTX-4 or V-one-RRR (WC), 720, etc. Now, most of you want to jump ship again and buy the latest/greatest. And then you wonder why you fall behind the competition. While you are learning a new car every two to three months, the Cyruls, Burchs, and Swaugers and the racers that mimic them are mastering their rides, perfecting their skills. Once you get the skills like Ralph, then it is easy to switch cars. This seems to be forgotten in the quest to have the latest/greatest.
