OH MY GOSH IS IT HUGE OR WHAT
Just got a FG off-road beetle last Friday and it is huge. I thought the box was a little over-sized but it was filled with "car". I won't be able to get it running for probably a week or so until my Airtronic radio system gets fixed. I previously had an 1/8 buggy and then a 1/10 T-Maxx. I don't know why I didn't do this right away. I would of saved money fixing the buggy and then hopping up the T-Maxx for racing. Running Hitec 5745 steering servo that just throws the steering tires from side to side. Initially just using a Hitec 625 throttle/brake servo until I figure out what I all need for front disc brakes. My hobby shop will probably become a FG dealer in the very near future as they were floored at the size of this car. If you have questions in your mind on whether or not to get a large scale machine, believe me, you will not look back after you receive it.

When i went to collect mine from Woddys Modelsport in Bedford UK, and i saw the box that the Marder Race came in...i could not beleive it...the size of it. the car filled the box totally.
I have come up from 1/10 nitro and battery and i don't think that i will look back from buying this FG. It's just so awesome.

Daz......
You got yours there too then!?
That's where mine is from, I erm..... drove down and collected it, there was a bit of an "issue" between Jason and I with the Postage, like, he didn't post it the day he said he would! I didn't know him from Adam, and thought, I've just given some bloke in Bedford who I don't know £700 (got a few bits too), so being the calm reasonable bloke I am, I got in my car and drove the 180 miles (in 2 hours 10 minutes!!) collected it and drove home again!
It just about went in my Saab Viggen Coupe, only just though!
Since then have sorted things with J, all a misunderstanding, he thought I was a mug!? [>:]

A long journey. I came up in my dads Scooby (for all you non scooby people, a scooby is a Subaru Impreza) 03 WRX, and it just fitted on the back seat, would'nt go in the boot
Woodys is ook, but he is a little expensive, i supose you play for what you get.

Mine fits in my Audi just fine (without the box) 
With the box however I could only just get it in the door and onto the front seat. Getting it back out was another matter
