 Just a quick update today to let you know of a few changes that happened this weekend:
1. The studio shots of the new Redcat Kaiju have been delivered by the photographer and they turned out great. If you'd like to take a look, you can find them on the Kaiju page here. I've also uploaded more photos of the Kaiju parts and will continue to add more information and details to the Kaiju parts pages as time permits. 2. Several TR-SC10E upgrade parts are on clearance at VERY low prices. I suggest grabbing these while you can as once these clearance parts are sold out, they won't be coming back. 3. Last but not least, another big order of Gen8 parts and upgrades has arrived including Clear Bodies, LED light kits, CNC Steel Transmission Gears, Flat Bottom Skid Plates, Portal Housings, several aluminum upgrade parts and more.
