Unfortunately I'm the cheapest bastard around when it comes to racing, but then it's the only thing that allows me to stay out there...
You can buy a Cap for $650 via HK, a Kyosho will sting around $600, Xray is all over the place recently but currently under $500, Serpent is gob smacking cheap at near $400... (oh so tempting)
The 8th are also a lot cheaper recently, you can get a 5 for $650, new Xray is pre-order for a little less, and WTF from Serpent at $550...
So I'm thinking $550 for the MTX5 is a fairly safe bet, though from more official US or AU sources it's going to be more for sure, but probably still a bargain with recent trends keeping these cars a lot cheaper than I remember them being not that long ago.
