overall its an awsome car for $20. its alot of fun. it took me a while to figure out the esc and eveything but it was worth it. the only problem is that theres no breakes in the front and that the tires are all bald and its drifts alot but is a really fast car and alot of fun. -Wes

That is a nice car for $20, now just clean it up a little to show it off when the body isn't on.

for $20 that is sweet. i had a druatrax street force gp giving to me for free but the front end was gone, they ran it in to a curb at about 45 mph. so i got that car for about $30 after rebuilding it. but your car looks fast. sweet find.

l0l. well i finally got those screws that were missing and put them in. then i took the car out for a boot up and down the street at about 11:4? last night. and went really good with the xl-5 in there,, but man that al-x took forever to set-up. i spent about 30 mins trying to get it to work and i found out i had the servo plug in the reciever backwards(rolls eyes). anyway as you can imagine it was really dark so im cruising around and i was flying and it swerved i hit the brakes which did pretty much nothing because the tires a bald and i slammed into the curb. so i back it out and it looked really weird so i go and check it out and this is what i found-
