I guess I’m more easily swayed than you then 😂😂
Ordered mine through the local importer as soon as I heard.

Now all we need is associated to pull finger and do a 91 worlds buggy

Magnificent!

Curious, how do you feel about this re-re? You did all of the hard work to recreate the legend, and now any idiot with a credit card (me, for example) can have one.

On a serious note, from what you can see in the photos, how accurate is the re-re?

Thanks ! And I think it’s very cool that’s it being released. It’s different enough on details from og that easy to tell difference (rere gearbox, servo mounted differently, the rear shock tower is wrong but can be switched to correct one from @GoMachV , threads on gold shocks, etc..

Preordered through tower, thanks for that! Don't forget to use the code "hobby" to save $55 (or $75 if you are a super saver member). It's actually best to become a super saver member for $10 to get the $20 more off, netting you another $10 savings plus future perks
