That is one sweet track weapon, to bad I don’t want to get into another brand the associated stuff keeps me busy enough.

[GoMachV]

This....is.....AWESOME!

And a green Le Mans 480T brushless motor

YES!

although I highly suspect this will be extra

[mikea96]

That thing is awesome.

I sure liked the Fantom when I saw it in the Tower Hobbies catalog back in the day...when I was looking to buy an RC car to upgrade from my Frog, I gave this some real consideration...but ultimately went with the Optima because I could drive it anywhere, not just on-road. The Fantom is a great piece of technology for its time. This is a very cool, unexpected tangent for a re-re...right out of left field!

Yeah it's a super cool car. Always found it fascinating but I've determined that I have too much and need to pare down.

Yes I want one but........................................................

[coxbros1]

Holy F! I didnt know....i will be purchasing

[TRX-1-3]

Wow wow wow. Won't be getting one, but WOW. That thing looks super fun. Sleek.

[duckhead]

That is a definite must get! Always thought that was such a badass looking car when I was a kid

I am diggin' the brushless Le Mans 480T motor too!

[1300GT]

Looks like it's based on the first generation Fantom. It's a really welcome re-release amidst a sea of buggies.

[mikea96]

I wanted that car so bad but all I could get was the porsche in the plastic space frame chassis.

Seems like nobody has discussed it as most didn't know about it, including myself. As a collector, I wonder how this will affect the originals value as the 1/12 Kyosho pan cars generally fetch a mint on eBay. Hopefully not much since original is still original.

I'm happy to maybe get some new wheels for my Axis EX assuming they're the same. Also, a new production body wouldn't hurt.

Either way, this is pretty rad.
