Status: offline 		Im looking to get an RC car. I was wondering about the Dash, is it worth $100? Or would it be better to spend more and get the Sprint for $189? I just want something to screw around with not race or anything, yet.

Also how long do the batteries last off a full charge? I've heard electric cars can't go very long before going dead, but I could always buy more batteries.

Thanks

more expensive but u can do alot with it if u decided later, and its 4wd
duration will depend on motor, battery capacity, gearing and driving style.
bashing with 3300, stock motor/gearing... i think 10 min?

Status: offline 		Hey. I would go with the Dash. I've had mine now for a little under a week, and i've liked all it has to offer. The radio frequency's aren't the best, but the stock 7.2v battery that comes with it has given me something like 20+ minutes of charge on flat ground. I also bought a quick charger, it takes fifteen min. max to recharge my battery. So all in all i'd reccomend it as a 7.5 out of 10 car. Though it's ESC sucks, it's motor seems pretty good. But then i don't know all that much yet.
