Yes, there is talk in the US about someone importing the cars. Only Thomas can tell you who has contacted him. I have heard about someone in FL and possibly someone in North West too importing the cars.

I have priced this car out and it's just shy off 400 dollars to get a kit to the US. That's about 250 less than a nitro car and you can get motor and controller for 150-250 depending on brand. Stepping into GP nitro is at least 1000 bucks with motor and pipe.
I run GT not GP and want to step into GP without breaking the bank and allow my son to have a car to drive that is GP style. He is 12 and will pick it up super fast. I like to be able to control his power with the transmitter throttle EPA.
