I must say that, it's pretty sweet! But then i'd rather rid the wing, and paint it exactly the same as my car. Then i'd be totally happy! laugh wink

IIRC, they come with the correct rear "light" decals and Contour script decals.
If not HPI, then it's Proline.

I'm getting a new RS4 Pro 3 as soon as I rid myself of my old RC cars so I can pimp a full size and a 10th scale SVT Contour. laugh

It only costs around $200 from what I could gather from the website **wiping drool off the keyboard** laugh

That $200 is for the car chassis, not including *deep breath* motor, transmitter, reciever, speed control, batteries, charger, and paint for the body (if the body is included at all).
The sweet thing is you can get billet rims and scale treaded tires for them.

Yeah, it seems cheap at first, but I can tell you that just to get mine up and running, you're looking at about $500+...I've got close to $1,000 in mine.

I have a gas powered truck from Team Assoiciated laying around somewhere. So many hassles. Even with a starter box, I can never seem to get that thing running well.


98.5 Contour SVT totally stock...for now.

I used to race for team losi and got quite in debt doing so. I now own a xxxt and a vintage JRXt, I think I may sell em off ..they are very expensive though ...especially when you buy the nice equipment for them (digital proportionate remote(airtronics or futaba digital display($200.00), bearing servo, s (40.00), modified racingmotor($60.00), 3000 MAH racing cells($89.00 per) , digital peak charger($150.00)modified handling ESC(electronic speed controller($100 +)
then to pimp you need deans plugs, anodized aluminum arms and bulkheads , HPI aftermarket suspension , oversized racing rims and a Bionic shrinking machine so you can drive your new car!
