    Got one in the closet. Haven't built it up yet. There's supposedly a better detailed larger-scale (1/8 or 1/9) version out there too that has 'chrome' parts, but I've been unable to find that one so far (but I haven't been looking all that hard either).

            AND $52 for shipping on top of that! I didn't pay that much to have a actual motor shipped to me.

              To me it would be a Bi@#h to build it and then not be able to ride it.

                    The Monogram kit is the same as the Union I think, just repackaged (and with instructions in English!).
