Don't know what you see but they were $199 on rc10.com for a long time. My LHS can't match that cause they PAID around $240 when they were released. They are stuck with em. lots of places are dumping them, so yes you will see them cheaper...but $199 is "street price" for them

My LHS had them for $150 last weekend. I *almost* wish I had picked one up. Almost, lol.

That's an amazing deal, and they are losing money to get rid of em I bet they would still honor it

In the details it says because of the size of the car, the body will come shrink wrapped to the outside of the box

I am tempted to get one of these, not because I don't want to build, but because it would avoid all the missing or mismatched parts so many have reported in the kits.

((at least I hope they wouldn't send out a roller with missing idler gear or slipper assembly rubbing on the motor plate...))

I think you nailed the "why" they are doing it part

Right!
I bet their customer service department has been peppered with "My Worlds kit is missing [this, that, and the other]...?#!"

The guy that runs the customer service department I the one who built all of them.

Says limited edition

pre assembled kit.

As mentioned above they are having poor Don build a bunch of em to get rid of em! Probably easier than dealing with the problems the kit was bringing. Nothing special except that the parts will all be there and correct (where the kit could be missing parts and have poorly fitting top shaft etc)

Oh, you guys were serious about this? I'd missed this when I first saw the description - "Expertly built in house by Team Associated’s tech staff and racers." Racers too? They must've had a build party.

If they start blowing them out, I'm buying another one or two.
