What have you guys been hearing from the LHS's. Ive been told by a couple of different sources that FG has shipped less than 100 MT's to the US for distribution and there has been 7-8 Times that go out the door to Europe.

Not sure who to beleive anymore!

do you have one, i am in the process of coverting my marder to the mb, just about have all the parts. just need couple more uprights and the cross support pieces yet.

I got tired of waiting and picked up an FG Beetle from Hobbythek to satisfy the craving.

I have my name on the Wait list for an MT through a dealer in BC that i got off the web.

I would have had a tricked out Marder from one of the Calgary LHS's but obviously the owner felt a little guilty about neglecting it and took it back home. Sounds like anyone you know?

Don said i missed out by less than a day.

you sure as hell did, i spent alot of money on that one. you should have bought it but i got it back.LoL
don said that you were looking at my savage to eh::: another great buy. i may yet take it back home to but i just love my gas stuff.

i can't believe no body bought it for a measly 900 bucks. your loss dude. just wait till ya start upgrading lol. it doesn't look like that anymore, all coverted over. there is another fella in calgary that wants to sell his marder, he hangs out at nitroextreme web.

I have heard from a reliable source that there is ONLY 300 MT's & 500 MB's WORLDWIDE.

I also understand (from a reliable source) that of the total number of MT's made and sold (about 300) only 20% of those made it to the US.

My Loss for sure.

I did pick up one of the new JR XS3 Pro Synth radio systems. I had already pre-ordered my MT and was thinking of your machine as a parts mule. Funny Eh!.

Living in Drumheller you must have some great bashing spots in the river valley. If everthing arrives in the new year we should get together and try to break expensive parts.

I did look at the nitroextreme site and apparently they have killed it and set up Calgary R/C as the new one. I will keep my eyes open for that other Marder.

for sure, there are lots of good running around here in the hills and such. post up some pics when ya get yours. i still wish i would have bought the lauterbacher one thou. for the money i spent upgrading mine. we all end up doing that and costs more in the long run. the supercross is a no upgrade machine, its all done for you. that is my next buy for sure. if i find that guy with the marder i will let ya know.

Hey, I am that guy... I usually hang out in the MT section.

It actually needs an engine mount. The dork that I bought it from was using a piece of steel strapping to hold the engine down. I didn't even notice until it shifted, and I haven't ran it since. Otherwise, it seems to be in good condition, and comes with racing slicks.

I'm that guy. You can contact me at [email protected] for further details.

we are almost done fulfilling the first batch of pre-orders and with the shipment that we are expecting in the next 2 weeks, we would be able to fulfill all of our pre-orders and may have 1 more MT extra.

im pretty sure that most dealers are done with their pre-orders. we are actually selling them without the pre-ordering anymore and we still have them in-stock. That means FG will also be able to make the other models too that are quickly running out from store shelves.
