URQ Tamiya RC on Ebay

[Peter K. Wong]

Uh... waitaminute, it takes a long long time before they're worth anything. 
And I think right now, the price has actual dropped on the model you're talking
about (this is normal) and won't go up for quite a while.  Just build it, it's
not worth the wait.

Incidentally for those that have never tried Radio Controlled: it's hilarious!
 I can do things with my "compact" A4 that I could never do with real one.

For example: seeing how high I can launch it off a ramp.

Thanks,
Peter
