Hey Brian, if it makes you feel any better, new 1/8 scale Motonica - the most expensive 8th scale kit out there comes with dog bones, and as far as I know they don't even make cvd's for it yet...
This cvd argument is getting old
That is funny too, I agree that the argument is getting old but people keep bringing it up when they talk about the price and it is really the only thing important to the car that is not included but there is a long list of potentially unimportant things different between the nt1 and rrr evo wc or mtx4r.
Really though I'll stop posting about Xray's costs or amusing marketing and just deal with the cost just like I am forced to do at my local track where we club race for $25 and then have to pay $30 for a table at any "big race" where more than 5 people show up on top of $30-45 for entry fee and then get guilt tripped because they're doing us a favor by staying in business because the owner is rich and could close any day on a whim.
