These are great cars, I raced mine indoors and it was very competitive. I have recently restored it to it's former glory

Tyres look better than stock, but could do with being a but bigger. I'm dissapointed they didn't give it bruiser size wheels and tyres :(

I was with the 'hideous' group at first, but it is growing on me. Does look very plasticky. shame the standard kit does not come with any carbon and metal hop ups. Suppose the world of buggy racing isn't what it was !!!

Yeah, screws at the side to mount the body. There are lots of guys out there who have given inspiration, especially Toykid, see the project for some name checks.
