I was going to add that at least it's not another Jun Watanabe edition but see some of you had a similar thought.

one of these, in xb trim, was a door prize @ the vonats.
the guy took it out of the box, fitted 2.2 wheels and tires to it and actually did pretty well with it in the classics a main.

arrived yesterday......dug deep in the parts vault...found some stuff....pulled out a you-g rear stabilizer for hornet....only to find out they changed the mould on the transmission :evil: .....the little tab coming off the transmission is gone.....used to go into the notch out hole in the chassis..now I have to engineer something ..........panda aluminum nerf bars worked like a charm....more hop-ups will be put on once I get past the rear stab. delima.
