I fully expect NASCAR will have some electrification within the next 4-5 years, 

 

This new car was designed to allow adding electric hybrid components in the future, so yes its coming at some point.

That should make pit stops interesting.  Instead of coming in for tires & fuel, it'll be tires & a battery pack.

For those looking for the new Next Gen NASCAR kits from JR looks like production will start on Monday with stuff shipping by the 15th. Just watching their Cars and Coffee on FB now. 

They're doing the Chase cars for their club first then the rollout cars so shouldn't be long for them to start hitting stores.

Salvino's posted a live update on FB during the day yesterday. Production of the Chase kits was in full swing with them producing enough of the Chase kits to fulfill their Builder's Club and webstore sales first, before flipping to production of the Rollout kits. I asked when shipping would start and the plan was to start that afternoon or at the latest today (Tuesday). So if you are a Club member or bought a Chase kit of their site you should be getting the kit very soon. 

They showed some of the parts trees, silver and black plastic and, in my opinion unfortunately, the Chase body was molded in a Napa Blue colour. I assume the decals will have the white? no idea, didn't see a shot of them. Personally I would have preferred to see them do the kits in all white or a light grey. They did show some of the Rollout hoods and those were in a offwhite colour similar to the colour on the Rollout car.

Should you get your kit this week please post up some shots of the contents.

The first 5 variations all come from the same tooling......so once up and running only the color of plastic is different. 

I know they are trying to sell to newbies with the molded in color stuff.......be nice if they'd do some in all white or light gray plastic. 

It will be a while before most of us non club members see a kit.

Not a club member and don't do Facebook but was able to order a couple of the new models from their site so guess I'll get them when they're ready to ship.

If I NEEDED them ASAP I'd do the same. But my LHS offers them at a discount and NO shipping.....so I'll wait.  Now if it was a Mustang.......different story!!!?

[TonyK]

Yes, no hurry to get them but have ordered this way in the past and works well for me. No hobby shops around here so do my model shopping online but not sure if and when they will be available. Supposedly only 5000 of each being made?

Here's a look at what he was saying
Bit disappointing they are doing Chase's car in blue

I have the roll out kits on pre order since those were suppose to come out first, I just ordered one of Chase's direct from them , I will of course be doing the WITB video .

The Rollout Kit was suppose to have been shipped back in early March. Then for March they made the Chase kit the "Kit of the Month" for their club members. But with the changes NASCAR had Salvino's make everything got pushed back. So they decided to do just enough Chase kits for the Club members and anyone that ordered direct from their site. Once those two lots are filled they're going back to the Rollout Kits then back to Chase's then the others etc....they're probably well into it, on Saturday they were saying they figured they could run around 1000 kits a day.

They initially wanted the roll out kits to be out in Feb,  so its been delayed by a few months.   It is interesting they are going back and fourth on the two versions and not just getting the runs done at one time.

Yes, it is very close to that blue,  I think its say to say they will be molding that one in blue too.

Hit the body with a base coat of silver and you'll have no issues with color bleedthrough.

Directly from Salvino JR Models

[Jhedir6]

Got notice from Salvinos that my Chase kit is shipped as of today. Now to see how long it takes to go from California to Ontario Canada. I'm guessing 14 days....
