60-7544 Monster Truck Tire/Wheel Set 6.99 (ETA Oct 2nd)

I bolded the GT cause CJ originally had a typo on the part numbers.

Sounds great! They better look good.

I wonder if these are actually SE2s

any predictions on monster truck booster? lower gearing and hi-torque motor i assume???

That's great stuff there green guy. Looks like the "new" cars rummored to be comming are just correctly working SEs with new body styles. Could still be some impovements though. RS seems to like slipping in little tweaks every now and then. Gonna be fun to find out.
This may reveal my auto model ignorance, but what is a Ford GT?

This's a Ford GT

wow, monster truck parts. I hope dual motor motor mount and maybe like a 16:1 gearing. Along with two matched motors. Hopefully the monster tire kit will be good with good sized tires and maybe the new zips (not se's) will have motorized steering to turn the bigger tires better.


b16 b16 :blift: b1spd :btc: :bs:

I wonder when they will have these in Canada... guess i'll get one of the vipers off of Ebay...

Keep your eyes peeled folks, the GTOs should be in stores very soon and should already be orderable via their toll-free number!

60-7051 Navy Ford GT SE 24.99 (ETA Aug 28th)
60-7050 White Ford GT SE 24.99 (ETA Aug 28th)

Cool, gonna check it out. I figured they would hit the stores before I got mine. Salesman, you gotta love em.

i called the 1800 number and they told me they were out of stock. i asked, out of stock as in they got some and shipped them all out, or out of stock as in they have not arrived yet. they said not sure, but to try back in a few days...

typically they are available through the 1800 number before they hit the stores, right?

Yup, usually.

I was lucky enough to get through to someone that actually KNEW what they were doing.

She pulled up the info and got that same "out of stock" status, but she used some kind of Mojo to dig deeper and get me those original ETA dates.

I'm excited about the new SE's, especially the Ford GT40.

I just hope RS has done more than slap a great shell on the existing SE chasis. The Ford GT40 and the Viper will need to sit fairly low to look good and I think the current high profile of the SE elctronics would prohibit that. It was OK for the muscle cars and the Torino because their body styles allowed for the high profile (these are the best 1:64 scale rc's to date IMO). I hope there has been some reworking of the chasis to do these new shells some justice.....I may be asking for too much.

Yup, the level of disappointment I'd have for RadioShack if they came out with the GT40 and Viper SEs with the same 'thick' SE chassis would be akin to a greek tragedy.

We'll find out soon!
