Status: offline 		It has held up so far and I have abused that body a lot so far. I just used a lot of primer and a poliurithane clear coat over the paint job. I works a bit better then basic clear coat.

Status: offline 		My rabbit drifts all the time. It is very easy to do in dirt. On cement the buggy has a tendency to over streer. But if you practice it enough, you can do it really well. Don't use a good pair of tires otherwise you won't have good ones by the time you are done.

Status: offline 		i drive mine at a baseball field sometimes and stand in the middle near the pitchers mound. i drive my jacrabbit around me in circles with it drifting the entire time! it's real easy to drift with the locked rear (full time posi-traction). friends think it's sooo easy to drive till i let them loose in a big field. i've never seen the dude who takes care of that baseball field, he prolly hates me and wonders what makes all those marks

Status: offline 		I did the same thing before. Drifting is really fun, like you said it is very easy to drift around things. You should try to set up a course with cones in the dirt and drift around each one. That helps build up your skills when you are drifting both left and right. I use to do this with real cars in the winter time around trees, and it has helped me quite a bit.

Status: offline 		I can drift with the original rubber tires good in dirt and I am pretty good at on pavement to. It is just a bit hard to get the back end around on cement.

Status: offline 		i can do it with the knobbies i have on there now but i try not to too $. i havn't tried with my rubber slicks because there is no where "safe" for me to drive on cement. these are the ones i use. they are pointless to use anywhere else unless i'm just try'in to do doughnuts.

Status: offline 		Extremly!!! My tires are not far from those. can't wait to get this other Jac Rabbit I will be having lots of fun then. Plan on racing my freind to see if he can handle the Raco Jac Rabbit. As long as he dosen't hurt it he will be fine.

Status: offline 		I need a body for one of mine's. I wouldn't buy one brand new though, they are way to expensive. I would try to buy a used one off of someone else. The bodies seem to be easy to make with that design. But I think it would be to much of a pain to do it. I would just find something used.
