Will cost around $1000 from memory. Power gain is substantial for the small outlay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look for a tuner near you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

physh Member 248 Member For: 21y 6m 8d Location: Canberra Posted 17/09/05 11:09 AM Share Posted 17/09/05 11:09 AM 12 second VL's aren't that difficult to come across.Finding one that can do it and still be anywhere near as comfortable, all-round capable, subtle, and classy as an XR6T or FPV, however... Let alone avoiding unwanted attention from the constabulary... Karen, welcome to the forum! Edit will do you wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
