Thanks for the news Calum! However, the 8376 has one key difference from the 8475 (not 8375): <http://guide.lugnet.com/set/8475> it doesn't have the auxiliary 3rd output on the receiver. Instead, the paddles on the bottom of the transmitter are used to get the car to do a "spin-out". <http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/behlip/8376/8376_notes.txt> Read more in this thread: <http://news.lugnet.com/technic/?n=11413> Pictures (not mine): <http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=59629> It is cheaper than the 8475, but you lose the auxiliary channel. If one has no intention of using the aux channel (battlebots weapons, transmissions), then it is a better deal as a LEGO Technic R/C car, otherwise the 8475 or 8366 <http://guide.lugnet.com/set/8366> are better sets IMHO. Has anyone actually seen this set in Toronto yet? John

The 8376 RC Racer Radio Shack Exclusive is in Canadian Radio Shacks for $119.00. It looks like it has many of the key RC components of the 8375 for about 33% cheaper. The 4589 Nitro Flash (The IR racer) is $38 at Walmart. The receiver/motor/steering (...) (21 years ago, 18-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
