That chassis looks very very Mini-Inferno…

Indeed thinking about the MiniInferno layout it’s logical expansion is to Nitro given the centre diff location.

i saw this and never noticed the acme was a nitro lol well see nitro xmods soon enough

[merc-blue]

there will never be nitro Xmods to small to hard,
these are bassed heavly on a mini inferno (great for parts :D),
i have been waiting for a few more to come out on the market before i get one but i will be deffently getting on when they do come out mostlikely the schumacher as RWD mean more sick wheelies and more fun, not as easy to drive but 100 times funner,
all the 1:16 buggys are a expansion on the H8, RD lgic are doiung a conversion kit kyosho doing a official one and guys like smartech and acme and a few others doing clones, ive seen some on ebay in aussie and USA..
these are somthing that i have been watching closely,
problem on them is shipping i was gonna get docked 80usd to ship a acme one from rcmart, possibly could we use the buying power of ausmicro on one of there next orders from there supplyer to possibly bring a few in, cause im deffently very keen

RCMart have discontinued the ACME RTR sets and won’t let you order one (I just tried).

Shipping for us would be about USD35ish per unit so I would expect to say if we could get them from RCMart they’d be about USD215 at your door in Australia. (Yes we make a cut to make the transaction worth it)

It’s not Mega $$ for it. It’d be costing them about USD200 landed tax paid. Then they’ve got to cover ebay Fees, costs on the investment in stock. Probably spares and DOA coverage – if they have any ethics.

I doubt the gear is “C-Tick” certified, but if they’ve gotten a “C-Tick” for it then they’ll be needing to recover the considerable investment there.

In short – yes it’s AUD500, yes they may be clearing $100-150 per unit, but that’s the sort of margin one needs to stay running as a reputable business.

ausmicro.com works a little differently, but the same costs apply to us, we just make (a lot) less margin.

aaron they havnt discontinued i think they are on and off during the week its strange

[Aaron]

Yeah – I’ve found a same thing different box version with one of our regular suppliers, no Tx/Rx but otherwise RTR. Bit cheaper too.. Probably under USD200 at your door.
