For the last few days I've been phoning round various shops trying to get hold of a XXX4 G+ in time for me to build it this weekend, so I can race it next one.

Reports vary from shop to shop as to when it's going to be in stock.

Anybody got any inside info?

(PM me if need be)

Cheers

It was officially released yesterday by Losi, so, by the time the American distributors have had their fill, I am sure Europe will get some, maybe before xmas (which is the norm)

fraid not mate... the g+ is the top of the line tourer, it's instead of a francis or kinwald edition. i'd love to see a losi xxx-s spashett ed, but it aint gonna happen im afriad... not least cause ther'd be a ginga shell on every box top!! ;D

the only thing the g+ is missing over the "francis ed" "drake" and kinwald are the cheesy looking coloured plastic bits. everything else needed is in the box, ie graphite, alu CVD's nitraded shock shafts, titanium etc etc....

The only coloured things I like to see on my cars are the shock shafts, and... erm... bodyshell, the rest should either be black or shiny metal.

And do you REALLY think they would make a Spash edition, NO WAY, they like to blow their own trumpet, not the UK's!!!

I know this is getting of subject, but It perked my interest what Ginga said, "fraid not mate... the g+ is the top of the line tourer, "

I own a G+ and I'm exceptionally happy with it, but if it is supposed to be a top of the line tourer how come is comes with steel screws, and why if all the turn buckles are titanium why not the hinge pins they are also steel thus very heavy. As I said I love the car its just a bit confusing when the (and dnon't quote me on this) the equivalent TC3 dose have alu screws ect.

If you notice the TC3 only comes with certain alloy screws the majority of the screws remain steel
