My friend love this thing. It is awesome to have a touring car, rally car is even cooler, but unfortunately this car cannot be converted. He really likes the power and acceleration, its also super fast. Handling is neat and 4wd

was new to us. He got some rocks in the belt and got it mest up so he took out the front diff and just did rear wheel drive. It was in a kit and was pretty build. It cost Aprox: $200 with just the kit, no body! Its very "pro". Together his truck costs like $800. Including FM radio. He got a HPI Porsche 911 turbo. He painted it some metallic blue.
It has tons of punch and very hard to drive, has survivor push. It's hard to control for beginners you need lots of practice to get it right. For something more simple. Go with a cheaper sport car.
