Well, despite the fact that my Tuscan S is being built right now, I couldn't resist ordering another one!!



Hopefully I'll have time to build it before my real one arrives, so I'll have a matching pair!

I ordered mine from www.apexmodels.co.uk

I got the HPI Nitro RS4 3 Type SS Kit and HP7474 HPI 200mm TVR Tuscan Body.

You'll also need an engine, radio gear and paint on top of this though, so all in cost is around £330.

For anyone interested in getting one in the Hertfordshire area I bought a Ferrari electric powered kit and seperate Tuscan bodyshell for just over £200 from "Models in Motion" in Stevenage old town. I opted to swap the standard charger for a fast charger and swapped the normal battery for a high capacity battery and bought an additional battery. The total cost was around £230-£240.

The electric version does have the disadvantage that if the battery runs out you have to wait for it to charge but it is quiter than the nitro version.
