Default Alfa GTA Sprint - M-04M

Does any know if the tower Alfa Romeo Sprint GTA comes with ESC?...they have at specs that come with MSC, but from some time, Tamiya deliver kits with ESC...and that typo I noticed at even some more models...

Most Tamiya kits have esc's as far as I know and that shouldn't be an exception.

I am pretty sure all the kits that used to come with MSC's now come with ESC's except for the dual motor kits. My WW-2 came with an ESC even though it says MSC. It's hard to tell until it arrive sin the mail ha ha.

It's awesome definitely got me hooked on building Tamiya's. It's more fun when you have 2 of them in the same place, TEX and I went and drove them around for awhile until we got bored (less than one battery pack ha ha), but it was a blast.

I like that chassis and body I think you made a good choice. I am fixing on getting a Toureg before they are too hard to find anymore.

I have this exact kit. Really cool, scale look. Mind you it is a handful to drive though, Lots of Understeer/Oversteer On power, and more Oversteer off power.
