Bear in mind that one doesn't have a speed controller, and that's gonna cost you another £15 or so. Emodels.co.uk had one in stock at £120.59 with the speed controller included
Unfortunately, some shortarsed bugger had it bought for him as a christmas present getmecoat

It may be worth giving them a ring and asking if they can order you one in.

I'm just gutted I have to wait until the fat festive fella has been before I'm allowed to play with it - alongside the pink mustang gt the little princess has been bought. biggrin

The majority of there feedback is good. However there are some negative (this person is a power seller so has a hell of a lot of feedback).

The eBay username is 'dinball' I am just a bit wary of buying something from the other side of the world.
I have purchased from this guy many times, items of high value, usually motors, Servo's etc. No problems at all.

thing about the mclaren is you need to find somewhere perfectly smooth to use it if you build it - but it will be great fun if you do wink
I don't really see the point of those things. As you say it has to be used on really smooth surfaces and surely the track would have to be massive if you were to use the scale speed of an F1 car!
Wouldnt drive it lol! I only do shelf queens.
Ah, I have one of those. The rest are bashers, but even the Shelf queen lives in the shed these days. I bought mine from an American kid, it's an alloy T-maxx that would have cost £1600 to build over here eek.
