With the beefed up wishbone I had hoped for more reinforcement elsewhere, to be honest. And nearly 500 quid... Does that include free replacement parts & tires or something?

Thats the RRP... the RRP on the world champ winning yoke is £509.99.

Most shops selling both kits for £50 less than RRP therefore the world champ winning yoke is still, er, more.

Both are still way more than I'm prepared to pay for a toy car tho!

Same here

Looking at those pictures of the L1 I reckon they are CAD drawings not pictures of the real car

I've done 2 meetings, one on grass one on Astro and the car was brilliant on both.

Build is flawless, very nice car.
