Order it from Toy Island about 3 days ago. The kit came in fine with no problems.

I tried the kit will the stock 2.2, Tomy 2.6, QFM 3.8 and ZZ NOS motors. The 3.8 was fast, but the ZZ NOS was faster both in normal and turbo modes. The ZZ motors just rock. The 3.8 and NOS motors were close to the same speed in turbo mode, but the NOS is much faster in non-turbo.

BTW, the kit comes with 1 chassis and 4 bodys. I used 3 Microsizer chassis and the bit chassis for the photos.

Now for the pictures:

Hey i don't blame you... my GTR set sits up on a pedistal, it's only felt the air but once. I only wish i had done the same with my initial D set, but joy got the best of me. :D

Yes it comes with the black remote with the booster button (I like to think of it as Nawwwzzzz.. :D

The motors are slower than normal cars when un-boosted, but I think they are faster when boosted. The 3.8 wouldnt run worth a crap in my microsizer, but it runs pretty fast in this car.

LOL, I just noticed one of your bits already has the full sized wheel mod from the ZipZaps ;)

Man I need that set for the R34.. I'm thinking that, slammed, cambered like my race chassis, with the rims from the Nakamichi.. would look SICK. :)

For those pictures I just used 2 off camera flashes bounced off the ceiling. As 323iT said the camera is a DSLR which helps a lot too.

Which DSLR do you use? I've got a Canon D30 m'self...Which of course I wish I waited the couple of months for the D60, but I'm more than happy with my D30.
