  Here is a link to Tower hobbies but the price conversion is 179.99 USD = 252.45 AUS not including postage costs, Me thinks…
  The link also contains a range of parts for the car in question:smiley2:

  at 1:12, why not just go all the way and go 1:10 there seems to be a lot of support + clubs for 1:10, me – I prefer the smaller scales 🙂

  Yeah Kyosho may consider it a mini,but its much closer to a 1:10 in scale and over twice as large as a mini-z/iwaver.
  
  As for the TL01 – ROFLAMO Me too:)

  155 Alfa is it _red yes.
  
  Think of what you may be able to fit to this unit aswell as more advanced ESC’s and hot motors and nellys and whatever, Its only in the early stage of it life…RTR out of the box and has a number of adjustments you can do with the chassis itself
  Its out of the box fun and you dont have to put it together
  
  I want sombody to tell me the potential-If any of this machine and not tell me that its just a size down from what they or i own already…..
  Step out side of the square, disect the car for what it could be and not what you see already…

  1/12 is a popular class in the states, but the 1/12 R?C cars are usually pan chassis type cars that run on 4 sub c cells.
  
  These @12 look very cheesy, and weak……i’d seriously just go with a 1/10 Tourer……
  
  The great thing about 1/10 TC’s is that you can put drift wheels on them……….fun to the power of 50!!
