The lows: Basic plastic chassis, grey steel phillips screws, crappy grey motor mount but does come with a cool blue top trim, no rear aluminum uprights (I guess what can you expect at this price), no aluminum steering rack or steering bearings.

All in all, a great value. You could easily still spend another $200 on hop ups including the chassis, motor mount, front and center oneways, aluminum uprights, carbon fibre shock towers, battery brace etc. etc. but you've got the main parts.

Fazal
Which means the local distributor MAY import it into Australia by the end of NEXT year!
