RE: genesis cheaper
Losi did NOT start taking full page ads in the car mags and/or release ANY info until Feb. '04. There were some spy pics (TRUE spy pics, not leaked by Losi!), but they kept things fully under wraps 'till very recently. And I have FULL confidence Losi will deliver WHAT they've promised WHEN they promised, as they did so for the hugely successful Mini-T.
I think the Asociated MGT did indeed take a whole lotta time, hit delays, etc. But again, they weren't out advertising & trying to sell it a year before release, they just said they (the mags said?) had a truck on the way.
CEN has been shouting, teasing & promoting the Genesis for ages, and that's just plain annoying, not to mention very detrimental to potential sales in light of all the new trucks.
