Tonic RC December 18 Newsletter - Honda City Turbo Parts Available + 15% OFF + BONUS PART!

Newsletter email sent to Tonic RC Subscribers on December 18, 2025

Greetings Tonic RC Newsletter Subscribers! You’re getting this news FIRST before any social media platform news releases!

First, I want to thank each of you for your interest in signing up for this newsletter. I’m just one dude doing this (from my life-long hobby!), so I take your interest in this very humbling!

So let’s start off with the good news! The parts are FINALLY available for purchase! It’s taken WAAYYYY longer than expected to get these parts ready for release (also at the sake of creating new content on YouTube). I ended up refining all of the parts to an even higher quality level than what you original watched in my Honda City Turbo Senna Edition video on YouTube, including strength, smoothness, and increased temperature resistance. Then I had to figure out packaging for everything, order a ton of hardware for you to install these parts (including LEDs), and setting up the online shopping cart system. All of this took an enormous amount of time and turned a hobby into a full-time job!

To really kick things off, this first run of parts will receive 15% OFF everything in the store (so long as they’re still in stock to buy).

With all that said, I’ve discovered there are a two caveats for the sale of these parts:

1. I’m limiting the first batch of HCT Pro Kits (and individual parts) to 25 units. Because I’m only one dude doing ALL of this, I can’t spread myself too thin (read this post for more details). Once I know I can refill a second batch of 25 pro kits, I’ll re-stock the online store. The limitation is also for smaller kits and individual parts.

2. For now, I can only sell within the U.S. I know, this sucks, trust me, I know. I’ve been an RC hobbyist for 40 years and I’ve bought a ton of RC stuff outside the USA (Canada, Asia, UK, Europe, Australia) but with these tariffs, it not only has drastically limited my international purchases for my owns RC needs, it has also thrown a monkey wrench in how I can sell these Tonic RC parts outside the U.S. I need to register to sell outside the U.S. so tariffs can be applied (even though the outside country is paying for those tariffs). But once I clear that up, I will open the sales to outside the U.S. Again, I’m only one dude and I’m figuring this all out as I go along, so please bare with me as I sort through that. Thank you!

FREE BONUS TO FIRST 25 PRO KIT ORDERS!

I’m including a bonus to the first 25 HCT Pro Kits orders: You will also receive a Tonic RC key chain! It’s just an added thank you to those that are literally helping kick things off with this whole crazy idea of starting parts manufacturing!

Question: Will these orders be delivered before December 25?

Honestly, I’m not sure and the timeline is looking pretty tight at this point. It might if you order right away and maybe if you're on the west coast, but I can't guarantee it. There’s a bit of processing time on my end, including packaging/labeling of the individual items. In an effort to get these parts/kits out the door asap, I’ve foregone doing detailed installation instructions for now. I figure most of you would rather GET the parts sooner than wait to get them AFTER I created instructions. Plus, most of these parts installations are pretty self explanatory. And you can always reference my Honda City Turbo Senna Edition video on YouTube as a rough guide.

Oh and by the way, I wont be sending out a lot of these email newsletters (I don’t like getting bombarded with spam either!). So if you get a newsletter from me, it’s because something new has developed in these parts or if there are entirely new parts added to the store.

Just as a heads up, I’ll be adding newly fabricated parts to my store that are based on the Kyosho TOMS (Turbo Optima Mid Pro), possibly in late December or in January. These parts were briefly shown in one of my YouTube Shorts videos. Stay tuned!

Oh and one other thing… (Steve Jobs Black Turtleneck Moment)

As a newsletter subscriber, you’re hearing this big news here first. A few months ago I invested in a new CNC machine. This means I’ll be fabricating aluminum and carbon fiber parts for my custom kit builds and like my HCT Senna Edition build, any custom fabricated parts I make for myself will then be available to you as well. Stay tuned, as I have a lot of cool parts in the works!

Guys and gals, thank you again for your interest. It really blows my mind that people are even remotely interested in my stuff, so it means a lot to me!!!

P.S. I have a favor to ask… If you want to ask me questions about any of these parts, I’d kindly ask you do so within either YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook. If you have a question about something, chances are someone else might have thought of the same exact question, so more people would greatly benefit to the answer to your question. Thank you!
