Hi! I wonder what kind of differences there are between the MRRC 275P Clubman kit and the RTR-versions.

Kind regards // Richard

Hi

Unless things have changed, the Clubman is a metal chassis with metal wheels and so on, a 60s style "kit". The RTR is a typical cheap, fragile plastic framed, Scalex S can, plastic wheel RTR

So the Clubman kit is a much more good looking slot car?

It's more work, as you not only have to put it together, you have to paint and detail it as well. But that's what some guys like. I did a Ferrari 250 GTO kit MRRC put out, which is similar to the 275 kit as far as the chassis goes. The chassis went together fairly well, but you do need to have patience. I had an old Revell body that fit right on, so I haven't done up the kit body yet.
I highly recommend getting the kit. Don't think it's any "faster" the the RTR car, but just the satisfaction of putting a car together with good quality parts (ex.-aluminum wheels) is worth it by itself.

BTW-anyone know where I can get the King Cobra kit? In the USA?

Hi Dickie
I don't know about the kit but I've got a complete car for sale at £60 with it's original kit box, see my website at www.derekcooper.co.uk

Do they use the same body in both versions?

Hi Derek,
Thanks for the reply

, but after the conversion, and then adding shipping, it looks like it will be about $110-120 for me. I don't want one that bad

Yes,it is basically the same body shell in the kit or RTR version.
