Just heard the end of an ad on the radio about a R/C 1/7th nitro powered F1 car
Comes in weekly instalments

Any one aware of this

It'll be something like this (probably);

It'll also be shocking (probably). £32 a month for 25 months.

800 doesnt seem too bad, but i dont know the going rate for a comparable model inc RC
IIRC though there was similar build weekly for an 0 gauge A3 loco which by all accounts wasnt up to a commercial kit that was cheaper

Mind you those Lego models look good!

Like the Flying Scotsman, this is designed by a reputable company (in this case Kyosho), but don't be under any impression that it won't be stripped down to the bare bones and as basic as it can be.

Moving on from the overall quality of the product, what's the spares situation? I can imagine that front and rear wings are going to get a an awful hammering.
