Standard = $12,485
Deluxe = $24,205
Deluxe Plus = $31,807
Deluxe Component Package = $53,100
(Everything less the engine and battery, read chassis #875)
Cheers,

That's a pretty good deal if it's got all of that! It's a lot of the little things that add up.
The UN1 - I know very little about them since they're not common over here.. I presume that it's been properly rebuilt / prepared for service in a high torque application.
I've another pal who's looking and he wants to make some comparisons between 2 or 3 mfgrs..
I've sent him your link and a link to this thread.. He's not the most internet savvy though... | |

Scott, would you mind addressing Randy's question related to the UN1?
Specifically, is it fitted with limited slip and what kind of power limitations do you think it faces?
TIA for whatever info you can provide regarding this issue....
Doug

Certainly Doug,
The gearboxes are split, dissasembled, inspected and repaired as necessary using new parts, then they are built back up with new seals.
They are equipped with an open diff, LSD is an option, as is a single piece input shaft.
They will easily handle 350-400 HP as delivered.
With the single piece shaft or even better the six speed conversion, the sky is the limit.
Are you ready to place your order? 
The dollar is up further in midday trading today. 
Cheers,
Scott | |

Hi Will,
No worries.
The Steel mono is shelved at the moment due to the development of the C/F monocoque, as such the web page has not been updated.
If it was available, at todays exchange rate it would be about a $5700 option.
Hope that clears things up.
Cheers,
Scott
