That looks great. Although, I think you should get some new decals made up. It needs to be called the "Long Shot" !

Happy to take reasonable offers 👍

Perfect colour for that body 👍

I thought you'd found a way to shoehorn it into your Boomerang 🤔

I didn't know that. Sounds promising. I only mentioned tooling etc because I read somewhere that reinforced plastics are much hard on the moulds and wear them out quicker.

Wasn't a dig a those who like to have shelf queens. I just find it odd from a company that has it's history in race only vehicles that they wouldn't just release it as a competition retro race buggy, with full spares back up and option parts (Like Kyosho's JJ Ultima). As you've said, maybe they will, but I would have thought they'd have done that first. Also, maybe the tooling is so expensive that limited runs are the only option.

Agreed. I had decided that I would get one to use if they ever released them again. But not now. It's too expensive and with little to no spares back up it would end up as a gold paperweight....

Looks like it. Seems Associated has done this as a really limited release for shelf queeners...

Great build so far. Always liked the look of the Top Force. Are you going box art or something unique?

Tamico have ended their pre-orders. They posted this on Instagram:

More added, prices lowered and thread cleaned.

What are you going to do with that Xtraspeed housing?

Absolutely. They are almost a perfect 10th scale size.

I want one.

Same here. Not interested if spares aren't following anyway. I'll get an Avante 2011 instead.

Avante 2011 Original Astute

Marvellous. Glad it arrived safely 👍

Evening. Hope you enjoy it here

Absolutely wonderful buggy. Kyosho really know how to build quality kits. Looking forward to some running thoughts, and of course pics. Nice job.

The obvious answer is to get both 👌

It popped up on ebay and I sent an offer of £380😉

You're welcome. Glad it arrived ok 👌

I do like a nice busy work area...

You're welcome. Glad they arrived ok.
