NIB released Dec 2001

An eBay UK bargain purchased June 2023

The kit including the hop-up alu steering set was bought for just   £175, as the seller dramatically reduced a BIN price and made it a no-brainier to buy. I picked up the NIB Type-T motor from a UK seller, and the Stabilizer hop up came from Japan. I believe the Evo II was a much improved design over the original one, so I'm looking forward to the build. I've added some screenshots from Tamiya's website product page for the model.
