Car... XRAY NT1 PRO Version - Unpacking


 
Sold off my NT1 2011 specs & bought a NT1 PRO.

What is NT1 PRO???
Quote from teamxray.com:
"Without doubt, the XRAY NT1 has been the most successful 1/10 nitro touring car in the world, capturing the World Champion title, 3x USA national titles, multiple European, European Junior and European "B" champion titles, Asian FEMCA Champion title, and countless national titles from all around the world. The NT1 platform earned these victories not only on the tracks, but also in the hearts of the media and public with the awarding of multiple Car of the Year and Reader's Choice Awards.

To celebrate the success of the NT1, you can now have your very own limited-edition NT1 PRO - fully loaded with all of the finest & best option parts - all for very special price. Get the NT1 tuned with all the greatest parts as used by the factory team this year, as it goes forward with the mission of capturing the European and World Championship titles"


2 weeks ago, it won another European C'ships title in Austria. 


Was surprised to see a smaller box.
The box is about 1/3 smaller than all previous NT1 kits.



Inside the box, 1st thing to see are the certificate & manual.
Sigh, unlike 2011 specs kit, no setup book is given in this one.


.
 Underneath the booklet, there are option parts, which are packed individually, followed by kit parts.

Some of the option parts are packed individually


NT1 PRO is basically a NT1 2012 Specs with its original option parts.
Of course, it is worth to get a pro kit, considering of all the option parts.
If I were to buy a 2012 specs with these options, it would cost a bomb.

Option parts include:
#331180 Brass Chassis Weight Front 25g
#331181 Brass Chassis Weight Rear 25g
#332441 Anti-Roll Bar Front Female 0.7mm – Hudy Spring Steel
