That current Ebay one has a CY engine. I have no idea what that means, but it is not a Zenoa, (tried and true) so think research it first.

As far as buying an MB, go for those sold on Ebay...otherwise you may have to wait weeks or even months (like me).

Krikke Racing always stocks cars and all spares, alloy hop-ups and all other goodies you can imagine.

He ships all around the world and has lightyears of experience doing largescale, very knowledgeable crew there.
Not only FG that is available but also Carson, LB and I do not know what else more.
Just drop an e-mail and you will get your answers quick, good service. It is a pity most of you cannot walk into the real shop you should see it. This is one of the advantages living in Holland
Ask Ron, he is the one you should be talking to, so many other people already did, you cannot go wrong there!

If you guys are so desperate www.rc-car-online.de has MB, MT etc. in stock. They ship worldwide, speak english and their service are extremely good.

(funny that the MB costs 207$ LESS in europe compared to the US.

The CY engine is a chinese version of the Zenoah. CY is Cheng Yang - my brother has a CY in his MT, and it sounds, feels and performs just as good as the wellknown Zenoah which I have in my MB. So no problem there.

The exhaust are directed out the back on the "new" models - but its not a 05 design, because my 04 also had the exhaust pointed out the back. They keep improving the design, and the exhaust out the back is much better than down the side I would say - both because of the looks and because of the smoke, oil etc.

My bad people...... NO TAX is collected from orders sent outside Germany so the price for the beetle is 91 euros ($120)LESS

so a 12 day ship is only $ 848 for the mosnter beetle, thats cheaper than the hammer
