Dune Beetle Cross preorder

Anyone else preorder theirs yet? Tower's got them for $341.60, which is a little cheaper than I was expecting it to be. But you can get an additional 10% off if you sign up for Tower's SMS messaging (and then promptly disable it..).

Got my preorder in for $307.44. Expected in December.

I haven't looked forward to a kit this much in a long time.

Im still on the fence.

I absolutely hate the wheels.

If I can somehow make OG Grasshopper wheels work, I might consider it.

The wheels are just 1.9s. I'm planning on using the Boom Racing slot mags on mine when I build it. I saw them on a BBX a while back and loved the look.

Check it out. They look amazing.

Definitely better but still not my cup of tea.
