You should maybe offer it to the first person who buys over £1000 worth of gear from you ??
(but only if it includes a set of wheels !!)

Halfrods always seem to have a supply but it is best to look out for their sales when prices for all their cars (Scoobs, Evo's, 206 and Focus WRC) drop to around £70 But don't forget these are the standard r/c cars which are only rear wheel drive but I suppose there is nothing to stop you modifying them to 4wd?

I'm not sure if you can tune these like the pukka tamiya cars.

i know it's 4wd cause if you lift the thing up and press forward on the controller, all 4 wheels spin with force

My lad has one of these. The car is £100.00 on its own, then you pay for paint say a fiver. Then you need a battery, charger, handset and batteries.
I got no change from £160.00 for the full "deal price" but the cars are £100.00 new un-assembled
Hope that helps
added to say you can get shells to fit this. My lad has a Porche 944, Alfa 156 and a focus RS as well as the Scoob
