they are out in a few hobby shops and i talked to a few Normal racers who ran them at so cal with no problems and everything felt normal and perfect =)
of course they have only been out like 2 days, I know Ultimate hobbies and so cal raceway has them in stock, and i'm sure most shops who ordered them would have them by now, like speedtech and others.

I saw someone earlier in the thread say that the Helios module will work with the Mars models. I really hope so as I don't want to buy a new radio. I love my Mars.
Someone please tell me if this is true!
Thanks,

I am still not sure
I was at the race at CRCR this weekend and dont recal anyone running them. I have seen drake run it twice before but I dont think he had it in his car this past weekend. I could be wrong though. I am hearing that the units are not 100% just yet from guys on the streets. Horizon says all the issues have been resolved. There quote about cleaveland was that the problem was user error. If my car takes off and goes through a board at 50 will that be user error. I was gonna grab one today but it looks like I will wait for more feedback.

it is a great developement for rc in general. cars without antenna's look better racing, transmitter batteries will last longer, and a side benefit no more frequency clips
