remember this about the last rc nitro thing which was done via a magazine
some of the components never all came & they worked it all out at costing near £600 or so for a car worth little over £100

tbh I wouldnt even bother with ones from hal;fords, I'd rather build my own from a kit, which is what I have planned for 2006

yeah i worked it out last night what a rip off! imagine the type of r/c car you could get for that type of money if you paid outright?!
i think these mags will be aimed more at the kids market in the hope that they will go and pester the hell out their parents and they end up shelling out the £560
