Stormer has it for $290

Car pricing is still up in the air. BUT, I think we're gonna hit the first group at $269. $20 cheaper than the old $289 we had shown. Looks like a great car.

Our test track here is considered small and tight. I really like Magenta all the way around. But only when you get the car totally dialed. I find it hard to intentionally give up grip from the rear to get it to rotate faster. Seems counter productive, but on a tight track you gotta change direction fast.

get the car, right to the point where it's just a little pushy with Pink rear and Magenta front. then go Magenta rear.

Any suggestions on where to find 1.12 foam donuts? Typical sources are no longer carrying donuts.

Thanks in advance.

Mark.
Stormer shows some compounds still in stock.
Not sure if that helps.
