atom3624 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 http://www.horizonhobby.com/1-5-mini-wrc-4wd-rally-car-rtr-with-avc-trade%3B-technology-p-los05007 Horizon have cut the price of the Mini by $1,000 to $800 'only'.Even if it's way out of scale - which contradicts all that MCD and FG tried to stay loyal to, that's a lot of kit for not much money.True, not the same over here but here's the spec: http://www.horizonhobby.co.uk/autoonline/j27teamlosi/j27rtrkits/j27rtrkitPages/j27-los05007/j27-mini-rally.html Could take a trip to the States and drive back - almost!!

capri-boy Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Wondered why i've seen a couple people gushing over importing one - this explains it. So what's under that shell then? Based off the DBXL? Can't be a 5T but maybe some b'tard love child? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover Man Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 5T underneath but with shorter arms and shocks. Mat even treat myself at that price but will ask Nige if there dropping the price over here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) That's rather cheap. Could convert it back into a 5T and still save a ton of money. They also have the 8ight and 8ight T gas versions for less than half price but no UK shipping. Castle Mamba Monster X for less than 100 quid too. Edited October 26, 2015 by mond More reasons!

atom3624 Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 To be honest I don't know - didn't read the small print, just seemed a good price but Horizon aren't stupid so there's bound to be something.Somebody inferred something about the remote start / stop - possibly not present.If it's full on as original, its an absolute bargain. If its a 5ive-T with shorter arms and an out-of-scale Mini body, its still great value.Someone on Largescaleforums has Scooby bodies that fit - Burns ones, and looks like he's doing the 'recent latest' Impreza ones as well.Al.
