Firelap 4.0 RTR kits and Firelap 2.0 F1 Bodies land[/quote]
The Bodies:[/quote]
The Firelap 2.0 is going to be be compatible with MR02-MM bodies, and this means that Firelap bodies can also be used on Kyosho and iWaver ’02 class chassis. ausmicro.com has received our stock of bodies and I have to say I’m impressed. Like the later (Concept GT) iWaver bodes these are moulded in clear plastic as one piece and then painted. No window sectiosn to fall out! The painting is excellent and the F1 bodies have ports for working head and tail-lights.
The overall finish is not up the ‘Shelf Queen’ standard that Kyosho adheres to but they are a very respectable looking shell. I would not hesitate in using one of these bodies for your running or even and occasional use car.
The Firelap 4.0:[/quote]
Now that we have one in our hands we can see the direction iWaver is taking with the Firelap range. The Firelap 4.0 gets a new hard ABS plastic body that finally mounts the same way that Kyosho Monster bodies mount. This means the suspension mounts feature the same clips that a Kyosho mount does. It’s also ver apparent that with this minor change to a copy of the Kyosho front and rear suspesion mounts and body the Firelap 4.0 is a direct copy of the iWaver 04 of old. We can only presume the ‘new’ ’04 will feature the different mounts shown on the iWaver website.
The really obvious factor is also the reason behind the drop in pricing. The Firelap 4.0 comes with a ‘regular’ 2-channel proportional radio set, not the LCD equiped digitally trimmed unit of the upper spec iWaver cars.
So there you have it folks.
