when i was in japan last month i saw an ad for a new tamiya 1/10th rc kit with a m3 body. i've been into rc for awhile and waited for one of these to be released again. i believe it comes with a tamiya tt-01 chassis which is there new enter level kit. i'm going to be ordering a couple kits through my hobby shop and was wondering if anybody else would like to get in on it, maybe i can work out a deal with him if we buy more kits.

here is a link to the kits let me know if you guys want in and maybe i can set something up.

alright found out pricing on the kits, they will be about $180 each and the kits come with a entry level motor and a mechanical speed control, so it will need a radio kit and batteries to run it. the bodies come unpainted, so you can paint them any colour you want, extra bodies will be about $50-80 each.

I'm going to be ordering mine on wednesday with 2 extra bodies.

That's a pretty good price. Everyone know and then these kits come up on ebay and they always go for big money.

yeah, i have been looking on ebay for awhile but $200+ dollars was a ridiculous price for a car body.

i believe this is the same mold that the old bodies where produced in so should be identical. the only thing they changed was the chassis it comes with.

yes, its would be about $180 cdn plus tax, and if we get more people they might take like $10-20 off, not alot but better than nothing.

radio and batteries all depend on how much you want to spend, you can get packs from $20 all the way up to $130 and radios start around $100 and come with a reciever and 2 servos.

i've been racing for years and have alot of my own stuff i just want a couple bodies to run on my nitro onroad car.
