hey steve, I am getting the oneway from Champ - I do not have a part number when I asked for it, and didn't even know it was in until I saw my bill.

Champ are very helpful and polite.

Fair play Jimmy, I thought I was probably treading on thin ice with that one!

My experience with RC Champ has indeed shown them to be a helpful and polite bunch.

Just a couple more weeks and I'll be getting that order in ASAP

Do I see this correctly : is there going to be a re-issue of the original Hotshot ?

Now a re-issue Avante (not the 2001 version) and my Classic collection is complete !

The rear arms are exactly the same as the b4 in size and geometry &
the front arms are the same as the bj4....both have different hole sizes for the tamiya hingepins.

[jimmy]

Cool! hehe.
I thought the front arms had changed in look, but from the photos they tooo look similar.

makes for an interesting comparison anyways

[LEGEND]

how much does the TRF501X cost in pounds anyway cause on the website it works out around £400.

[jimmy]

haha, well spotted!!!! Hupo knows where it's at.

If your name isn't down for a 501x in this country you won't be getting one according to the HOBBY Co. The first batch of 10 or so are all called for rrp was about £380....
