Didnt expect EMS to be so fast!


I will document the (slow) build of this kit - as well as all the screw ups I'll make

Status: offline 		Chassis material is not the same as the Dark Impact - DI's chassis is a black shiny plastic, this is more matted and grayish, kinda like the same material as the suspension arms of the DI... wonder if this is stronger?

Status: offline 		I dont know if it will fit side by side packs - cos I dont have any. This pack is probably the longest lengthwise that would fit without any mods or cutting. Breadthwise, for this pack, there's about 8mm to play with. Pack's approx dimensions: 139mm x 45mm x 20mm

HI LB! (Tamiya God)

If the Durga is based on the TRF501X then it shouldnt do too bad, heh. Setup sheet is a first for me too - wonder if it's really useful (for a non racer like me)

I got it for USD155, I think shipping was about USD30 via EMS (to Singapore). I bought early to beat the christmas rush! www.rcstation.com.

You can get it from other places, eg eBay, Tower ..... but for me rcstation was the cheapest. eBay, the last time I checked, had only one seller and the price was much more.
