***No reply from KMD yet*****Thread updated*****

UPDATE: Last buggy, post now else you will be in the waiting list (i.e. You get $12.5 pricing only if someone backs out as its a 24-unit PACK)!!

For ferrari, paddy $39 (single unit) , he gets $36.5 pricing if someone backs out

PS: Please someone call KMD and tell to post his price here :)

As robo explains, currently we aren't having enough experience with RC cars to just order what attracts us. Hence starting from the smallest sensible steps :)

Though regarding AA batteries, i would rather love to spend Rs.600 on eneloops rather than spending $5-10 on included non-branded batteries. Hence preferring cars without included batteries.
Eg: The Ferrari cars have included 750mAh batteries with them, but what if they go bad after 2-3 months?

i already have 5-6 rc cars and 2 planes :p , 3 cars have battery and both planes . out of which one plane's battery went bad just due to overcharge otherwise other plane's battery still works after 1 year .. 2 channel rc cars turn fully at once . not so much fun to control them . only 2 functions possible at once like forward + turn or reverse + turn , even speed not controllable only full when button pressed ..

mostly its written there but if not mentioned then see the remote , if it has push style 2 buttons right left and forward reverse then it will have 2 channel only . if it has digital proportional control and / or more than 2 joysticks + buttons like possible to activate or turn off lights from remote , then it will be atleast 3 channel . like the ferrari has 3 channel ..

@ naveen - i used to buy cars 6-7 years back :p dunno where they are lying since i have shifted house after that , one plane has broken and one is lying here ..

^^ then i guess the ferraris or the calsonics are the best of the lot.. will wait for KMD's quote for the same and then decide what to choose from..maybe i ll place myself in the queue for a Ferrari model..nonetheless i ll wait..

the problem with the ferrari and the calsonics is that they are low clearance.

you need a flat surface to run them, so you would be confined indoors mostly or if you have access to a tarmac that would be awesome.

^^^ you are right about the clearance but still ferrari and calsonic have digital proportional radio which makes them easier to control.

I like the ferrari and calsonic model better but I dont have the money :( .

I have spent a lot of money in ordering RC component for my VTOL project.

Update: International Shipping:
HobbyTron.com - Remote Control Cars Trucks Boats Nitro Gas Electric - Airsoft Guns, Magic Tricks & Science
After international shipping, pay per use option:
Eg: buggy pack (24) = $300
+handling = $315
-5% coupon = $295
+ US local + Intl. bongous shipping = $430 max!
Each car cost ~ $18 < Rs.900 shipped to doorstep.
But the issue is:
-Dont have a credit card
-have no experience about intl. shipping and hence no idea about customs
-cant take responsibility if product gets damaged midway.

Anyone who can take these responsibilities is free to quote his price.
Till then, we all wait for KMD's reply
