    It's a beautiful kit and well worth the money. I think someone commented it's a lot, but this is not toy level r/c. It's a pro level kit good for pros and medium level racers/bashers. I am upset the exact color is not available to match the wheels, but YouTube has that color covered...

    This was a fun and challenging build! These are beautifully engineered. It's expensive, but it's what you have to pay these days for a high quality kit full of carbon fiber parts.

    UPDATE: both Amain and Hobbytown personally offered to resolve the missing parts issue, THANK you Ordered my kit through HobbyTown a sister company of Amain. So after waiting for massive backorder, finally received my kit.
    First off why is it listed as prebuilt transmission when it is not also listed as prebuilt shocks they are not you need to assemble absolutely every single bit of this kit.

    Also, two parts trees were missing from my kit. I cannot assemble my shocks. Now I have to fight with Kyosho to get the parts replaced..

    This seems like it will be a great car, but I don’t know when I will ever get mine built now.

    This has been an aggravation from the beginning.
