And, I think 40.00 is a good price even if it is limited proportional like the vipers. I agree about the controllers being sold seperately. I've got a butt load of spares too. But, knowing RS corporate, they'll package things in the most stupid and profitable way possible. Like the purple motor being packaged in a huge upgrade kit. I mean, ZZs are the only brand of micro that doesn't package motors individually. You gotta buy at least two upgrade kits to get two purple motors if you want two cars equally balanced to race. Which means you end up with a lot of parts you don't need. So, I expect RS to do the same if these babies are really comin. And, I'm sure there is room for the PCB under the shell. I've seen ZZ conversions with epoch PCBs and they fit. Springs on the front is an easy one. The back is a bit more complex as the rear tab can't really bounce up and down since it's supposed to fit the old shells as well. A T suspension in the rear won't do it. So, I'm curious about that one. And, it is possible to make a micro servo in the front, Puchi's did it some time ago. No, I think it's all VERY possible. But, we'll just have to wait and see.

I am willing to bet the packaging and ads cost more than the production of the actual product.
