Looking forward to building it up while listening to VH "1984" and the Crue "Theatre of Pain". Not looking forward to assembling the ball cups.

Another interesting thing on the LP 700-4 which I have never seen on any car was the Chinese (?) language writen on the rear deck lid. Not being versed in Chinese, I suspect it warned the owner that certain components got very hot under the lid. Makes sense as I suspect the majority of their cars ge...

mmm...I saw an LP 700-4 on the street a couple of weeks ago. Besides having 700 hp, the other thing that stood out on this Italian made rocketship was the huge Lamborghini CarboCeramic brakes with the "Made in Germany" stamp.

The body (second from the left) looks like a Bolink Cheetah body. I have one painted from the factory purple with a gold stripe. What were they thinking? I'll post a picture when I get a chance.

Glad to hear they are updating it as that would be the only way it could handle a brushless motor.

Very nice. Hopefully another retro kit.

Speaking of motors, do you think they will include a brushed motor with the kit?

2,500 kits x $250 = $625,000
$625,000 - production costs - shipping - hobby store profit = Not enough profit

Just doesn't seem it would be worth the tooling costs/effort, unless they plan on manufacturing way more than 2,500 kits

I don't think they would make XXXXX kits as the cost to make new molds just wouldn't justify the investment. I also can't see them selling out the initial batch and not making another batch if they are good sellers.

Wonder what the trophy girl looks like after all these years? Was she there?

"Rere being announced today and got pics of the original box art car and Jay Halseys 1985 car."

I thought Jay's car got lost years ago? Also any word on the tire size/options?

Indy 500 - Will Power and Ryan Hunter-Reay
Coke 600 - Kyle Busch and Jimmy Johnson
F1 - Hamilton and Webber

I just saw that Dick Trickle passed away. He was an under dog in NASCAR but knew how to race a snowmobile with the best of them.

He also had one of the best names in racing.

Has anyone noticed if this ad caused a suddeen surge in ebay listings for gold pans?

When you finish unpacking, I'd like to see more of that Cox/Kyosho ATC 250R.
