Also, it appears that some new products will be arriving. For example,
http://www.megatech.com/Pro-Pulse-parts.php
The new products will probably be marketed for the MegaPro. The coming soon products are mostly in the "hopups" category. 4WD steering will be a great feature, and the fact that MegaTech will be selling Brushless motors is a good thing as well, you know that they will fit your R/C for sure.
Also, they have the Buggy spoiler listed as something you can purchase, I think that I would buy one of those as well, and dremmel a in the back of my truck so that I could put the spoiler in, that would look soooooo cool lol
I'm planning on buying a MegaPro truck in Mid-October, when towerhobbies claims that they will start shipping them, since I guess I missed out on getting a Pro Pulse (they must have been just a trial run to see if people liked them, then I think that the MegaPro's will be the product that MegaTech hopes to sell more of). I think that I will try to get a hold of a PP truck body top, then take the stickers and put it on my MegaPro truck (hehehe). Pro Pulse is definitely a cooler name then MegaPro.

Yeah, but at least I can get it in Canada since Tower Hobbies ships there, and R$ doesn't.
And what are you trying to say in the second sentence? I don't get it. You can PM me what it says if you want.

Gentleman.. All that is happening now has been expected. I would like to bring your attention to an existing thread posted a couple/few weeks back by Erock 808...
http://yourmicro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19854
This section of the forum has been considerably active over the last few weeks. There has been a lot of recent posts and it might be interesting to browse past the first page of recent posts.

The body tops seem to be cheaper. $20.99 vs. $29.99
For some reason though, the quick charger isn't listed! Maybe I'll have to order it directly from MegaTech, or from eBay.

... there are two buggies available on amazon now for 80.
dude don't get that charger. it does not work with ac power, meaning you have to charge it in your car cigarette outlet only, and it is completely unadjustable. for $15 more there are some really nice chargers you could get, like the duratrax piranha, or the MRC 960, which is what i have.

And I checked the Toys 'R Us Canadian web page, and no MegaPro, but the Americans get it.
