  You get bearings, X-speed, Oil Shocks, alu nuts, and probably something I’m forgetting. Pretty good value since it’s ~$50 more than a normal one, and the shocks alone cost that. I’m not sure if I like the chrome body, not that it matters.

  Nah, MF is not 40, its barely even 2 yrs old… :p
  
  Try Kyosho 😀 … 2003 was Kyosho’s 40th birthday.
  
  I would have thought they would be done with all their ‘specials’
  by now. They made some ltd edn serial-numbered MiniZs at the start
  of 2003… eg gold & silver plated Ferrari F40s.

  Elizabeth Taylor celebrated her 40th b’day over & over for 20 yrs or so… between husbands #3-6 I think. 👿
  
  Pity Tamiya missed out doing anything for their anniversary – their first R/C came out in 1976/77. I was hoping there’d be something out in 2002, but looks like Shizouka plain forgot. blackeye:

  most of the hopping up has been done for you, merc… yeah, i’ll be getting one of these babies in the next 8 weeks… the only hop ups you may need are the ball joints and stainless steel kingpins / suspension pins. Ooh, deja vu… I think i’ve said that before:blush:
