Default HotBodies Tornado Skyline RTR

does anyone have any information or links to reviews on this car. ive been looking at it and it seems to be the best car for the money by far (£210). It comes with 2 speed, .16 engine, etc. my other option would be an HPI RS4 3 RTR for £200. which has only single speed and from what ive heard, a rather poor .15 FE engine.

Thanks
Josh

Hey! I checked out that link and i can tell you that that bodie is really cool! Is that a Nissan?
Anyway, the info is really short and like i said, i don´t know the car, never saw it running, don´t think it sells here in Portugal, but i can tell 1 thing:
- For what you said before, you plan on bashing, and this car is belt driven, which isn´t as good as shaft for bashing, just because belts get crap in between and shafts don´t! Personally, i prefer shaft driven cars ( although i wouldn´t say no to a Serpent 710 ) ! But if you are one a budget and you know were to buy it, go and talk to the HS that sells it and ask for info! Maybe they even let you test drive it !
Look in Google for info about it, i´m sure you´ll get it!
Peace!

i have this car and i must say that it is a very good car and has a lot of hop up potential and very good handling. but if you you want to keep up with everyone else you better save up some money and get a new engine. THe .16 that comes with it SUCKS! Id rather have the HPI 15fe!! I installed a mugen 12 and now i am no longer in the back of the pack

again you can't go wrong for the price!
