I sure have been doing my part here in the US to get the word out about Nutech!!!!! Yes I know large scale is much more popular on the other side of the big pond. I wish I had the money to start a distributorship with them!!!!!!! I hope one day to have a Thunderbolt II pro as some at the only large scale track in Georgia where I go are running the Red Cat and all others are running the HPI Baja which I am running right now. All are great guys but I would like to turn some heads and I know the Thunderbolt II will do just that!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been racing for about 5 years 1/8 scale but large scale has just started here in Georgia in the last 5 or so months.

I could thought Foxy on the Nutech forums announced a company! I would post a link but it is against RCU polices.
I posted about this ages ago Jeff, look at the second post on the previous page.

Yes Johnathan I reminder this but thought Nutech had others that where going to import in the US. Sorry but post did not go much in detail and when you said official announcement which I still have not seen this was going to include another importer. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Why review is delayed?
Maybe because of bad results...

I don't think there were bad results. The car is just fine, atleast the model I have is.

I have read several reviews on the buggy and most of it good. The problems they had on the proto models has been rectified. The only problem for me is very little support in the US. I am a racer and have to be able to get parts in a few days with out having to come form another country. I know vertigo performance is trying to help but we need a US distributor with good support. I have many in my area interested in Netuech vehicles but with out good support are reluctant.

I don't know. It's been submitted weeks agoi, RCU is taking their time over everything lately. I'm a bit annoyed about it myself. If it's not up by monday, I'll post it in my own webspace like I did the Thunderbolt I review.

There are no longer any unresolved issues with the car, of that I can assure you.

The link will be up soon for US distributor. In the meantime, contact Clayton (Vertigo).

By the way, it looks nothing like it did when I gave it to them, the characters were smaller, the background was black, the bullet points were a different format. I don't know what happened to it, but I'm gonna ask them to fix it.

hubs updated?how are they different as they were already different than the titan ones and looks it did not fix the turning problem completely.

are the new shocks as big as the titan ones or the tb1? could you measure the thickness of the shock body?

The shock shafts are as big, body smaller, the MT has bigger bodies.

It doesn't turn as sharp as a 2wd car, period. It never will and doesn't need to. It turns sharply enough though, trust me.
