AE BFT
Does anybody have any inside info on whether this truck is really going to be released on Wednesday? Is the Oct.15 release date to the distributors, or when the shops are authorized to put them out for sale?

RE: AE BFT
Hobby People says they wont get theirs shipped out til early November. Tower Hobbies says they will have theirs late October. Stormers just says Fall of 2003. Just about every site that is going to deal them has a different release date so it is hard to tell when the official release date is.

RE: AE BFT
Hi. let me ask if there is anyone out there that knows anything about Thunder Tigers version of this truck, specificly if it is possible to by the thunder tiger version here?, personaly I would not mined buying the TT version if I could get it. I am on the understanding it has been out in Europe/Asia for a while. I suspect it would be cheaper too from TT. check out the link.

RE: AE BFT
i think the hobby shops just put that date just to have it instead of a no date expected...and i heard that ae bft was made by thunder tiger for ae...so im pretty sure that the tt21 is almost or if not totally the same as the bft

RE: AE BFT
dont get the Thunder Tiger version. The TT version was the original design but Team Associated spent a year reworking the design so the AE one should be ALOT better than the TT one.

RE: AE BFT
Shipping from where? Does that mean that they're in the US, and shipping to distributors, or is that pic from Asia and they're heading to the boat? I wish that AE would provide more info...

RE: AE BFT
i think that photo is taken in america. that guy is looking out of the left of the forklift. american drivers do that. in japan they drive with the steering wheel on the right side so they look out of the left of the car
urgh, close the doors so we can see the liscense plate![:@]

RE: AE BFT
Someone must have seen one by now... Please post.
The guy on ebay apparently has stock now at $479. Once the hype is over, they'll probably be down to the Savage .25 RTR price.

RE: AE BFT
I think the MGT will always be a few dollars more than the Savage cause it's got reverse. Better drive shafts on th MGT also. If it's $50.00 dollars more it's still a better deal.[8D]
