The B5's are also like this and the reason is that there is not reason to pass on the cost of tires to the customers when chances are they will be tires that might not work for them. Therefore we can lower the kit price and save the customer money and then they can buy the tires they prefer with the money they save.

Regarding tyres (or tires, if you can't spell ), this was the word from Associated back six or so pages ago..... quite logical reasoning, I thought at the time.

Alex

And at some races we use spec tyres.

i bought this since really dont have the money for the whole kit plus not a huge fan of the rc10 worlds. going to make my own version. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281297216784?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Finished out-of-box build.



Wish I had a decent camera.
Need to get some gear to get it ready to run, though. Was thinking Reedy or Novak. Any thoughts? What brushless would be equivalent to say a 12- or 10-turn brushed?

the silver springs don't look quite right

Looks awesome

I was thinking the same thing! Should be green or black! I don't like the shocks, so my runner will be old school Teflon with white collars and retainers! May even use an original slipper! Can't wait to get mine, I hope in a week or two!

Nice quick build!

Noob question.....
Will the JC 5 spoke wheels fit on the Worlds Car??

You'd have to get ones for 3/16 rear axles, and swap out the wide front axles for the original style.

Yeah, I've got a NOS upper shaft, slipper, and green springs too. What I want to find is some true Worlds wheels.

Anyone else having problems with their order for one of these from Tower?

I got an e-mail showing the kit that I pre-ordered was shipped a few days ago. But I didn't get a tracking number and the charge was made to my account but doesn't show up on my statement. The Pro-Line Mirage body that I pre-ordered at the same time also shipped without any tracking and evidence on my account. It's a little sketchy that a company can take $250 from you at any time without any real proof. The same exact thing actually happened when I pre-ordered my Classic kit. They don't charge you for backordered parts at the time of ordering, but instead make individual charges for each shipped item without any trace.

Someone's willing to pay for $500 + $60 shipping on this re-release worlds car.










But this early production sold for under $400.

That's odd. The shipping notification emails I've received have always included a tracking number. And whenever that happens, there's also an entry in the online order history showing the item and the tracking info. Perhaps their customer service folks can explain it?

called my hobby shop and they said it shipped out thursday so they should see it today or tomorrow. Still have to decide to build or leave in the box

Mine should be here today, but it will have to wait until I clear my table of all my JRX2s.
