Ive now got 2 of these i bought 1 new then got a second hand 1 off ebay with loads of parts.

New it is under £60 with no electrics

I will start with the bad points

1) The stock gearing is way to high and a smaller pinion is a must
2) Changing the pinion can be a pain as u have to take all the gear cover off (8 screws)
3) The wheel hexes that come with the kit arnt so good and when u tighten the wheels up they become tight against the bearing and stop the wheel turning i fitted kyosho hexes which are the same size and they work great.
4) The wheels are the same width front and back (about the same width as wide losi fronts) to fitt wide rears slight modification is needed.
5) There are no turnbuckles just fixed rods although they can be placed in different holes for slight ajustment to camber and toe.

Now for the good news

Overall the car is well built and with just minor modifications will make a good club racer, i have a 10x1 motor in it and it goes realy well and is easy to drive.
I have had a few big crashes with it and done no damage so far so its pretty tough, if u do break it parts are available from most model shops and are pretty cheap :)
If your looking for a cheap 4WD then u wont get any better than this for the price, i just cant wait to try mine on a track :)
