Default OMG!! I Got it

I just went to the to the LHS for some parts.. I came out with a freshly delivered(30 minutes old) HPI R40, Navarossi RS12, Novarossi Pipe, and a XR3 radio. This thing looks so sweet.. I can't wait to get building..

I bought the car radio engine pipe and header. I also got a bump box

It came to around 1,050

So far the first look of the kit this thing is going to rip!!! Too bad I just bought a TC3 last week. now I don't know what to drive.

they charged my 329.. A bit steep but it was an LHS price.

I have to buy another kit though, because they don't have any parts yet and I broke my two speed clutch. I screw in a screw and in shattered

Yeah, you will make $$$ on the parts.

Half the parts you see on ebay are from rtr kits striped down and sold.

I dont know there are things to consider:

1) Price of posting
2) Shipping may be paid but you still gotta pay for the packaging material!
3) TIME!

In the end you may have made money but you have also worked for it! lol
