The Nexx 8 is an 80% prebuilt roller, requiring all electronics and paint on the body to complete it.  MSRP is $409.95, no word on ship date.  Check out the OFNA web site for more info.

Some of the features of note include full ball-bearings, front and rear sway bars, hard anodized chassis, hard coated shocks with threaded shock bodies, and pivot ball suspension.
