Update from Pro Track. Yesterday, while I was at Greg Walker's "The Race Place" I received a mild surprise. Greg told me I had a $20 credit due to the fact that the owner of Pro Track, after gauging the market, has decided to reduce the price of the all up complete rtr chassis to $60. The bare chassis, less motor, axles, gears, bushings and etc. will be $30. The rtr chassis will be available with at least two different PLAFIT motors. The high rpm motor that I replaced in mine and the #8636 Pointer motor 2. I installed that motor in my car last night and it seems on par with the 14K Ninco 1 motor. Much milder and easier to drive. I plan to experiment with some different gear ratios as this motor seems to have tons of brakes.
At this price point and given it's versatility I think this chassis is a good buy. Whether it catches on remains to be seen.
