Oh yeah, I couldn't beat the price with a stick.

From Japanese to an Italian raging bull. ;D

Pictured:
Tamiya F1 f201, Novak 4.5R BL / Spektrum rx
Calsonic IGT, stock, awaiting Hyper .21 8port transplant from Hyper 1/7
OFNA Hyper 1/7, stock, but waiting for a NR p5x, Vspec or a sick on-road motor.

For $300 I couldn't beat it and had to have it considering they usually want $650 to $750 for them. Quality of the car itself is amazing. Very heavy duty, this will stand up to some abuse. The body is very good looking, infact so good looking that I won't put the wing on it unless it proves completely unstable at speed.

Nose to tail its the same length as a Baja 5b. Its big, and half the weight of a 5b. Though slightly porky at 9lbs, the IGT is 7lbs, and the F1 under 3lbs.

Tom, hope you secured us a good size lot, I need ROOM for this bad boy.

250x250 for the lot size for Septemberfest...

[rcoverboard]

That should give you some breathing room Bill.

[thirdgen89gta]

Thats..........alot.

Thats bigger than LHR's outdoor track which is 220x175. And their outdoor is 220x200 I think.

BTW, hows that mac workin for you Tom? Tim mentioned something about it the other day.

I got a chance to drive this bad boy! And its SWEET! The tires hold the road like nobodies business. It still has a slight bit of understeer if you go full steering lock under power, but if you let off the gas for second, crank the wheel and then hit the power it rotates the care nicely and sets it into a tight turn with the rear end hanging out every so slightly.

I you are a fan of on-roads and the 1/10th scale TC's just aren't doing it for you you gotta go to pick one up from rcdeal.com. Bids are starting at $300, but its an auction so no gaurentees on it. but man its great.

Some new pics. got some updated pics in sunlight finally. Still with a crappy camera that doesn't quite capture fine detail (like metallic paint) correctly.

Would you look at the caster on that thing in the second pic the tires go from full contact to no contact in turn of a wheel.

[thirdgen89gta]

Good steering response though. I just did that for the pics.

There are 3 positions, that is the most layed back position. Stock is middle, and the 3rd is almost straight up.
