My view is I want one, but not with that shell. Interested to know how a "performance" dual-motor truck gets on with running a single battery pack.
They're still making a lot of money even in basket-case condition, otherwise I'd own one by now!

About the same here - very cool chassis but not a big fan of the basic shell. ;)

Looks like a Cars car, painting a smile on the front might work ;)

I see it already got loads of aluminium hopups. :y:

yep loads of upgrades ...though i wouldn't say the top arms were an improvement over the originals can't tighten them enough to stop play without stoping them moving freely ...have fixed it my way but any ideas would be greatly recieved

Do the wheel hubs have ball bearings already? I know GPM only provides plastic bushings.
I've tried to keep the king pins in place better by using a bit of teflon tape :
