I was one of the fortunate ones who got the Tamiya model for free (had to pay a few bucks for shipping). Headshave had gotten a bunch for promotions (they have a VX promotional vehicle). They had a bunch left over and were kind enough to give them away to us on a first come first serve basis! Mighty, mighty nice of them! Mine is still in the box unbuilt, but once I get the time it will be built into a clone of mine (sort of a mini-me VX). I'll search the local hobby shops for the bigger tires!
