Congrats dude !

What on Earth is the 4/40 tap for though ?
I am considering one of these as well. I am not a huge fan of red stuff, but fully decked out kits for cheap is definately my style :p

[athowells]

I am thinking about getting one to. Be sure to wirte back after you have assembled and run it and say if you had any problems. How think is the manual?

[broken_parts]

jeep, it makes it so that the holes are thereaed. if u didnt tap the hole and tried to screw the screw in the screw could snap in half. :p

$215???? A standard xxxt is like $210, you lucky little monkey.

[jeepinator]

Fricken' addendums !
My XX4 WE had that same crap. I had no problem cause I already owned an XX4 for like 2 years, but my buddy, qho bought one at the same time, strugled a little. Switching back and forth between manual/addendum is for the birds !

He must have cut you a deal then, because truthfully, Horizon Hobbies sets the price(Horizon, my heroes! they are really the best distributors out there), so there should be no competition, between mail order, and the 'Mom 7 Pops' type hobby shops.

You can plan on picking it up for 249.99, at most places. Shipping is going on this week(from what I understand). Plan on it hitting your hobby shop's shelves at the end of this week, or the next.

Actually,

The LHS can sell the kits for whatever they wish. Horizon sets a MAP price, which is a minimum advertised price. This way, a mailorder house cannot advertise it for less than that price, but your LHS can cut you a deal.

Horizon Supports the LHS!! WOOOOOHOOOOO

That is why I always tell you all not to buy form the HorizonHobby website..they do not what you to do that! It will be cheaper from a LHS!!

[johnnybgood]

the manual seems ok, normal losi style but im not sure if it is because I got a first run production of the kit but it actually comes with the standard xxx-t manual + a xxx-t-mf addenum manual

True True

I found my LHS selling the XXX KE for 2$39 sticker, but I asked for the hookup, and they dropped $30. A good LHS with knowledgeable guys is something well worth supporting with your hard earned dollars.
