the kits should be available in around 10-14 days in your local hobby shop. Kits should start shipping out of Horizon next week (so that's couple of days transit time and well it also really depends on your lhs of course)
Timeframe should be pretty accurate since Losi themselves gave the date instead of Horizon just guessing about it....
Time is just as crucial for us since the stuff has to travel halfway round the world
This time should be the charm
AND I AM SURE THE CAR WILL BE WORTH THE WAIT!
