When I heard the new Brat was coming out I knew i'd get one no matter what seen as I had one back in Dec 1983 !!
I wasn't fussed to get one of the first until I heard it had the chrome chassis on the first set -- how excited was I, purchsed from JC-RC.Got a couple to save on postage (one's going to Moosey)
To be honest I'm not convinced this is a rerelease of the Brat like the other's have been (ie Grasshopper, Hornet) This is more like a Frog with a Brat body (well mudblaster body seen as it's tinted glass) not that i'm complaining.
I'll not build this as I have so many other Brats this i'll stay NIB, I might buy another none chrome chassis and build that for the shelf. I think this is so far from the original that it makes the original still a sought after kit. I've spotted a few differances which are listed here... Anyway thanks for looking after i've rabbited on !!!

1 1 1 the new 'C' parts 1 The modified body mounts, to allow for the 540 1 The switch as original with the rubber boot 1 the modded front mount - no longer adjustable 1 stickers designed for the lexan not hard body!

I was so close to buying one but there was a 1 hour special deal at aria for a pc power supply so i spent 93 pound on that instead as i am building a new pc .i would still like to get one when i get some money spare .

I agree with you...I am a bit disappointed as well. It is still nice...but I didn't know about the silver plated parts! NOT FAIR!
