so do you know who has the tc RC in stock yet? I told my salesman to hit me up when they got it but you know how that goes...once they sell the car they dont care

 

don't know...not sure how i would know

all i know is the first shippment was shipped out nation wide about a week ago

just keep calling...or if its not too far go down there?

what's ur local dealer and i'll try to find out

 

I dont know...you have answers to most things. lol.

I'll stop by on my way home this friday and check. As for local dealers:

I bought my car at: Browns Scion of Glen Burnie MD
but more local dealers are Darcars Toyota of Silver Spring and Jack Taylors Toyota

 

k i'll see what i can find and let u know...

obviously HPI and Scion are stationed here in socal...so we would get it first. east coast would be toward the end

or i can try to get one from HPI directly and sell it to you....haha u might have to pay a little more though (shipping)

 

all i really want is the body. I can buy the other parts straight from hpi

 

thanks. I'll hit up the hobby stores this week too. Its kind of sad that I'm more excited about modding my RC tc than my real one.

 

uhm....the chassis for the tC2 is different than what they have on their site

...well u can take an old one and modify it, but u have to know how

but if u really want just the body...what color? i can try to get a clear one and have them paint it nautical blue...but i'm not sure exactly how much it will come out too

 

hobby stores wont have it

scion has an exclusive deal with hpi that for the first 6 months it will be ONLY sold at scion dealers

 

Well in one of the pictures you posted:

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...type=3&theater

it seems that its just the E10 touring with the tc2 body. Theoretically I could buy an E10 touring chasis and just add the body once I have it. A

And is the entire car available in your area? because i rather have the entire thing than buy it in parts

 

i didn't notice the E10 chasis....that is actually the first time i saw the box lol. i've only seen the car

anyways...i dont know if its at the dealership near me...but i'm sure shipping from socal to socal is faster
BUT...i know people at HPI...so i just ask them if i want anything. but yea it would be the whole kit

what do u want?

 

I want the whole kit in nautical blue. Let me know what the people at HPI say and you can ship at my expense.

 

hey justin. where is the HPI shop here in SoCal? and wanna hook up some tc2 body? :D even the fr-s. :D

 

okay, might be a while though cuz i'd have to ask my friend if he has time/its possible to paint one in blue

 

fr-s isn't ready

actually...i dont remember where the HQ is. i just talk to the people LOL. u just want the body? i can see

 

you can give me quote for body and for the whole kit if you want. :D

 

well the whole kit will be whatever retail price is...

if its the body i can see how much they will give one up for

 

ookkaaayyy... thanks...

 

wait so which do u want exactly? im just going to ask for one or the other
