wow, i thought you meant 29 bucks for a car turbo which would be a steal. Actually is a good price however for a model car.

AFAIK it's a red plastic 951 model with PD's. Thats all the sales rep could tell me. about 7" long

Testor's brand? If so I've got 2, also got 2 S2 Cabs. Am looking for the 944S and the pink race car and the clear view GT1.

Thanks for the lead, Chris! I have a hasegawa or two in reserve but I'm getting ready to assemble one for adaption to a Kyosho Mini-Z MR-o2 kit, in other words, a screaming 944 turbo 6.5 " RC Car! The fact that I know more plastic kits are coming will make it easier to butcher one of the older ones.

Nice..

OK, it's not a 951, but it is a 1/18th metal 924, too bad they've been taking pre-orders now for 2 years! It's a good thing EWA is good about refunds, because I got tired of waiting...
