The first link doesn't work.

But it looks pretty sweet. Gonna need somewhere super smooth to use it though, thats the only problem.

Looks like a carpet muncher...err racer. I wouldn't mind having one. But closest track is nearly 2 hours away.

The design looks spot on.

I'm glad to see it seems to be based on 1:10 pan car. That will make it drive more like a real F1 car. Very cool idea, and probably very affordable.

looks pretty good! and yeah i would think it will be set at a reasonable price too, can't see any reason why it wouldnt be.

I would love to have one if I only had someplace to run it.

same here, only only nice parking lot i have around has alot of small peices of gravel laying around on it, the same reason it sucked for my drifters.

Can you imagine how cool a dozen of those tearing up a carpet road course would look? Unfortunately, like a lot of other guys, I have nowhere to race it..

I was thinking the same thing, that would look bad ass!

Kinda cool if you have an indoor carpet track to run it at. I LOVE F1 so anything like this is going to peak MY interest. I wonder where they will price this 'lil gem? Anyone wanna take bets? I am going for $239 street if it's RTR....

HPI is really doing a good job the last couple years at creating a new niche. This could do the same thing for on-road as the TRX Slash has done for off-road. If these things are reasonably priced I guarantee you'll see these fill up a class overnight at local carpet tracks. If it's RTR, we'll probably see a lot of spec racing. That would be sweet. :thumbup:
