You know.. when the R40 is released. Which I bet is sooner, rather then later, it will prolly will be a competitive car. They know what it takes, and after all, they have said it will be a belt design. I am taking a wait and see approach, if it is good I will buy it. Just to say to Serpent, Mugen, NTC3, Kyosho... owners... yeah I beat ya with an HPI.
