My first R/C car - I wish I still had it. I was only five or six, so Dad made a two cell battery pack instead of the usual six cells. That blunted the performance enough to prevent me bending it! It later received various mods and morphed into a Frog. I finally sold it after about 10 years (and several replacement differentials).
I still have the Top Force (4WD buggy) that replaced it, but that wasn't as much fun - until I converted it for drifting by replacing the tread with electrical tape :-)

Electrical tape, never tried that one. Do remember many hours at the kitchen table applying silicon to tyres for additional grip though

Try it, it's awesome just about controllable but makes them ridiculously sideways. Kinda like that C63 on space savers that Chris Harris did!

My Biology teacher at secondary school had one of these. She was a 'Horsey' woman, one day when it was parked in the school yard my friends and i saw 3 hyperdermic syringes and a huge horse whip in the back!?!?!?!
Heaven knows what she had been up to, but we couldnt look at her in the same way anymore :-)

I had the saloon 1.6 FWD but it was amazingly reliable and tough as hell. never serviced it in 18 months - cost £60 sold for £50! used on beaches, farm tracks, an odd ditch here and there and over 30k miles on rough Irish roads.
