Default Serpent F-180 Released

Looks like Serpent has finally 'released' the F-180. I've seen a lot of places touting them but haven't seen anyone with any in stock. Maybe a few will start trickling in. Now if I only had the budget... [:@]

I gotta think the price will come down once stock has settled in. At least the RTR comes with a digital FM radio. I can't tell the make from the site.

HUMMERH3 I suspect this will be like all other open-wheel rc venues in the US, very few.

None-the-less, had I the dough I'd buy one!

I saw someplace on the internet they are selling it for 875.99. That is still more than I well pay for something that has not proven its self in competition

Well The Border RC and JE racing are two places I've seen them

The Border RC: Base kit
JE Racing: all three

So the RTR would set someone back $1221 based on current rates. [X(].

The name of the online shop that has the F-1 for sale at 875.00 is Winne's Circle. Here is their link http://gasrccar.com/eshop/product_in...roducts_id=232 The ad did not say how long it would be on sale at this price so you better check.

Too bad there isn't video of the car actually doing something impressive. Counting this one, I've only seen two vids of it so far (running that is) and neither was more than quarter throttle. [:@]
