MSRP is a really weird in RC. The MSRP is setup so that a discount structure can be put in to give distributors/dealers and drivers a discount and still allow the manufacturer to make a profit. Look back on some really old 10L boxes, the MSRP was rediculous then as well.

Where is this car made? Is it a USA car or is it made by Thunder Tiger and made in China or wherever they are?

I believe that. The front end is metric as well as the shocks.

Maybe it is like in the movie "A Christmas Story". Remember when they went to Christmas dinner at the Chinese resturant and the waiters were singing Jingle Bells?

I'm beating it will be about 60% of the $400+ price.

Tower has the car for $415.00 and yes the whole car is metric. The "Christmas Story" pun is really funny.

Hope dem boyz don't run caps! Three R's and an R RR! lol

So, has one heard from the Team Drivers on how the car handles?

Anything will be better than "RC10L3.75"; which started out as an L3 8 years ago and has been morphed close to an L4.

At 299$ for a brand new design I wouldn't exactly call it a ripoff.
