i looked at a few hobby stores in the portland area. i couldn't find anyone who had a 4.1 in stock. apparently the b4.1 brushless are flying off the shelves.
i don't know if there is s&h on top of the listing.
amainhobbies has one for $229.99.
stormerhobbies has one for $218.95
rpphobby has one for $224.99
amazon has one for $240
so they are pretty much the same as far as price goes.
i am going to check out another local hobby store tomorrow. if i can't find anyone local who has one i will use an online shop. i like to keep my local hobby stores in business, we'll see what happens tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure Tacoma RC Raceway has them in stock. And if you show your OR drivers license I don't think you'll have to pay sales tax. TRCR isn't far from Portland and they'll be running races Sunday so you can give racing a try if you get there early enough. It's a great track and the owner, Scott Brown, is a team driver for Associated so he can hook you up with a great setup. They have a huge stock of parts and accessories too.
