| I don't succeed in undertstanding why Tamiya won't sell it around the world... Why the europeans, americans and australians "3-speed" fans can't buy it?? The price is about $60. If they can produce a very small amount of bodies for that price, I think they could make 10.000 pieces for $30, or less. And for the chassis... I don't like the attitude of Tamiya, I think they are a bit arrogant. |

Ya Tamiya is not very smart. They make something that everyone wants (TLT) and then stops making it. Also on some of there RC’s you have to think what were they thinking specially on there new truggy!

It has to be the box says 1/10 original mountaineer body is like 1/8. Look at how the hilift tires look in the fenders. | |

Man what I would do for one of them! I argree Tamiya has about no brains, I see everywere I go talk about this body, I easily bet even though they say $60 (them others that want it just as bad as us) will easily jack that price up to the $200. Maybe theres hope! |
