egress rerelease in nov 2013

[HunterZero]

Are you guys preordering or hoping there is enough to go around on ebay, not sure how to get one?.

eBay prices are usually more expensive as the sellers factor in eBay's sellers fees into the asking price.

I recommend http://www.stellamodels.com.hk/ - good prices, sturdy packaging and best customer service in the business, but they tend to sell out quickly so drop them an email if you want to preorder one.

Stella and Rcchamp are good

R these universal shafts and cup joints in the re re better than the Posi-Joints back then in 80's?

[94eg!]

I'm sure they are. The cast material from the 80's looks pretty week compared to what they make driveshafts out of these days.

Of course the Posi-Joints are one of the most unique hop-ups of all times.

Vintage cast are weak, but in-terms of efficiency and material type, is it comparable with modern material?

[94eg!]

Having never put them to the test, I just couldn't say.

I have posi-joints on my vintage Avante and they are really really really smooth and solid.

Well, i have both and put them on action, from the look part, of course posi joint is the winner and the material is cant be scratched strongly.

In tbe re re the look is bad ( loool ) and easy to get scratch and wipe off the black color little bit.

As of handeling , dont know but feels posi joint have a great smooth noice and nice grib and so strong than the re re.

I wonder if there is the same kind of initial demand for this kit as there was for the Scorcher, FAV, Bruiser & Nova Fox, for instance where Stella's entire first batch was allocated for pre-orders meaning that none actually come up for sale on the store until the second batch a couple of months later?

I think this site is breeding a pre-order mentality across the forum, so yeah, I think there's a good chance of a first batch sell out. I personally love pre ordering stuff as it builds SO much more excitement than simply waiting for stock to appear. I'm more excited for my RC10 and Egress than any other cars before and I've never had an ounce of interest in the RC10 before this bloomin site and its pre-order chatter

[xray mark]

Does anyone have a link to steller on this forum or is best to email through his main page regarding a regress!, see what i did there?.

Guys, just checked the Tamiya USA site and the price is $822....

Looks same as the Avante black special..

[Raman36]

Ouch.. that places it at around $520 with TowerHobbies. Was the original Egress priced higher than Avante?

[94eg!]

Yeah but it included titan screws and sealed bearings. This one does not. It also used Carbon Fiber where the original Avante 88 did not.

The annoying part is that the Avante BS included a motor, spare set of wheels, and a LOT more metal bits It's also a limited run kit. For this model, all Tamiya did was cut a few new carbon pieces and dust off old body molds. le-sigh

[z00ter]

ugh, so they didn't kill the Egress,they just killed our pocket, sucks to be sure.....

[Tamiya Era]

Tamiya Always kills our $$$,,,and we have to obey.............looooooooool

[mheald]

All I remember is that both the avante and egress were waaaaaay out of my families price range as a kid, but I'm pretty sure the egress cost more than the Avante back in the day.

With all that said, you guys are right, if you compare this to the BS, ****, this is a cheap shot from Tamiya. They know FULL well that folks like us will just suck it up and pay whatever they charge as we really, really, want to own one...or two.

I'd budgeted £800 for two of these so I'm reeeeeeally hoping I don't need to put more aside.

[Tamiya Era]

Tamiya Obviously watching ebay and see how people will spend insane $$$on vintage , so why they dont make the price little high as they r sure people will buy ....

me too, i remember the Egress was No. 1 in price, then Avante and last Vanquish.

but i am sure this is Tamiya MSP price,,they alwyas have super high prices, but definitly we will see a good prices from ebay seller, especially from HongKong.....

and if the price will be over expectation from HongKong seller, then what to do,,,i have to buy 1, 2 or 3...must
