I bet it gets great front-end traction with them pizza-cutter tires.

Quite a bit higher than Tower. Placed my Tower pre-order this morning.

With the RC10 Classic and NovaFox both scheduled for August, it's going to be an expensive, and fun, late summer!!!

No kidding. This is also another must have for me. I don't know how urgent it is to pre-order this. It may not have been for the RC10 either but their marketing dept. has done a good job of putting the "limited" word out there.

Hate the altered name but love the re-release. I got my original Fox back in '90 at a hobby show for only $60. Even back then I was collecting vintage RC stuff. At the time, the Fox was just an old has-been kit that the guy was trying to unload. Just 2 years earlier it would have set me back $135. I was very happy. I remember it being very quick.

I was looking for some retro videos and found this.

I agree..glad they're re-releasing it but the name is horrible. I had a used original a few years ago I picked up off Ebay, used it for a while then sold it on to fund the purchase of a used Wildone that I still have and love -- won't be getting rid of it. I won't be getting the re-re NovaFox as I like the realism of the WildOne better but it's still cool for those who are nostalgic about it.

Friction dampers? Really? And I don't see any sway bar in the new photo on the web site, surely that would be annotated on the photo.

I might back out of this one, kinda disappointed.. Then again, a couple quick upgrades.......

Odd, under the specifications tab near the bottom it also says "Special feature 3 : Features dual CVA dampers at the rear and 1 horizontally-placed CVA damper at the front." BUT just a little above that it does say friction dampers. For almost $200 it better have oil-filled shocks. I meant Tamiya still makes those shocks (only in black now??) so why couldn't they throw in three of them.

it's just poor wording, they are clearly yellow cva's in the pic.
friction would have a screw in the face of the cap.
