tower is more like $519 if you buy the super saver club discount, then you can get $40 off last I checked.

HighRevHobbies has it for $495 with apparent free shipping.

Trick Parts has it for $499 + 4.95 priority mail shipping

you also from these two places get apparent points you can apply to other items for discount. I think for TP, its 20 points equals a $1 credit.

Losi, Hot Bodies, Kyosho, Mugen, etc...

We have a full line of springs that will be available as well.

They are basically the same design as TKR20042A, but we changed a couple things. They are not thicker than TKR20042A.

great. Do you know if these will be sold in a spring pack or only separately?

How would Hot Bodies springs compare to yours rating to rating wise? (if this is something that would be answered later when you have spring rates available thats fine, I just have a lot of HB springs that I wouldn't mind reusing)

We rated ours with wire thickness, turns, and length (like Kyosho and Mugen do). It was the easiest and best way to do it in our view. You'd have to generate a spring rate conversion chart to compare to Losi or HB. The kits will ship with medium springs and there are 2 stiffer and 2 softer available. We don't have a spring kit with all of them, but we may add one later as an option.

Dear Mr Tekno....aka the king...lol,
Please inform me why I should preorder your buggy instead of taking my ve8 and just getting the conversion for it. I'm on the fence and would live your input. Thank you

Thanks, but definitely not a king (my son thinks I'm pretty cool though ).

The new buggy should be a better performer than any converted buggy. That said, if you already have a buggy and don't want to spend the money for a whole new platform right now, the conversion is a nice option.

After driving both for extended periods of time, the new buggy is a lot more fun.
