I can vouch for how fast these things are, I used to race them. Silly silly quick for something so small

carmadbaker · 12-10-08, 02:33 PM

awwwesome fun, i've hardly been able to get it into the 3rd gear!

Maxxed_Ross · 12-10-08, 04:45 PM

remember the first Menace they made? It was a truck/buggy thing but was only 2 wheel drive. Every time mine changed gear it pulled a wheelie!

I'm actually considering this just for the radio gear, is that a 4 or more channel transmitter?

carmadbaker · 14-10-08, 05:18 PM

4 channel yes mate

actually gives the car a crude ABS braking system too ha ha! all rather advanced and clever
