I pre-ordered mine from Rainbow 10 in Japan, they posted it Thursday night, arrived in Melbourne Monday, very fast for EMS post. The chassis is chrome, but it's more of a smoke PS31 style chrome, or black chrome. I have finished building it tonight, here are some pics, enjoy
Sorry, but I put the chrome mini lite wheels on as I prefer them to what came with the kit - the kit came with chrome swift rims and treaded tires just like the pics on the tamiya website. Also I have added universals as the M03R does not come with them.
Yes, it comes with full ball bearings, the metal shielded type.
I have written a review for another website ... but it is about 2 pages long! if you would like me to post it let me know
