I have some Info that may be of use to some people regarding the Hachette Nitro 4X4 model magazine.

I appologise if I repeat anything that someone else has said.

The magazine in question (NITRO 4x4 I think is the title) is £5.99 per issue (except the first two which are cheaper) and the model is built in 70 issues (1 magazine per week, so 70 Weeks, thats a year and a half!!!!) costing £419.30 and When I rang the company (0870 920 1138) to ask about RC gear and the IC engine (was it included in the price?) they tell me that if you buy the first 15 issues you get a token in each one, and then you send off the tokens with a cheque for £39.95 and then they will send you the IC engine and the RC gear. So for a model that can be bought in the shops for approx £250 this one tops £470.

I was considering it, but NOT now !!!
