The law does not apply here. You need gas to go to work, school etc. If gas stations take advantage of an unfair situation and try to maximize their profit at the cost of consumer who has no choice but to pay the higher prices, then they are gauging. But in this case the RC car is not a necessity and you have plenty of other choices if you want to pay less then it can not be considered gauging.

Well I guess I'll just go the the station that charges less, the.... No offense Jeff, I know you by racing in Vegas and in Crystal park. Comparing to gas prices, people have choices too, but whose going to stop the people gauging prices? Personally, I don't care, we both know we have choices like what you said. Just unfair for people who would be buying those kits at that price.

Am i right to say that HPI is a European or US product?

Hi Guyz,

Hey what's up Henry! I missed catching up with you at the RD race--that whole day was just hectic! I think I was either marshalling, racing or pitting the entire day! Are you guys getting an MTX-4? Can't wait to see it on track.

Vinyard

Fits like a glove, not much adjustments you need to do.

Currently running a Max and Max power pipe, but am thinking of getting a LL5 or a Zac tuned OS

I just finnished building the car. Only have servo's to go. Just noticed that the car has a loose side belt. This could be the way its designed. Also, even though the Kit I got came from a stateside hobby shop, it didn't have the tires. I called mugen and talked to them. If the kit you are going to buy does not have a bar-code sticker on the side of the box with a serial number, its an overseas kit.

I'm waiting on another one now from another hobby shop, this kit will be coming from HRP. I built the car with a lot of hop-ups that I had to fabricate, and I am still working on a few more. Just putting the finishing touches on the Titanium front sway bar blocks and 3mm shock towers. Stock is 2.5mm. I like the kit so far, its has a nice setup for the front roll center, fit and finish of everything exceeded my expectations! Built the car to almost a prospec, only if I had a 4mm chassis The rear sway bar, 2.1mm, I like the way that the adjustability of the rear lower hing pins, very cool idea, and also the steering ackerman too. Total time of build so far: 4 hours and only need to install servo's. I am however curious about the side belt, has anybody else noticed the looseness?

Is this transferable to the 4 ?

no, however, the front CVD's will work on the front, but the rear, I'm looking for a set of 60mm long cvd bones. If cannot find them, I will make them this weekend.
