Anybody got one? Are they any good? RRP is higher (£122) compared to the Venom one (£89). I'm happy to pay the difference if it is reflected in the build quality. All I've seen is pics on the 'net and they both look more or less identical, which I guess means they probably get spat out of the same factory in Chinaland.

Fastrax is CML isn't it, they have basically released a Fastrax branded F8 and done away with the competition (Team Magic version).

I read about them being the new TM importers in one of the mags. Their webshop listed F8's as £149 but showed them as out of stock. I rang up the number off the web and they said they would be having some in imminently and would doing them for £169. I've just had a quick browse and they are still shown as out of stock but now £169.99 :cry:.

Ok thanks, anyone got any non PR photos? I.e. with kit in?

I've got a poly at present and it's good for having the areas organised etc.

Stanley box for the spares

Not the best photos, but should give you an idea of what you can fit in it
