Status: offline 		I think its a good idea to create a thread that is devoted to the Smartech on-road nitro cars, especially the ones that everyone gets on ebay. So post everything you want here about these cars...the winner 1 etc. Post its weaknesses, how fast yours goes, good points etc. Also, this will be great for people who have just bought one and are trying to find out the immediate attention required to make this cheap car go faster that 60 mph, which some people have achieved. This thread will also point out all the places where you can get replacement parts for this car, as i know that you will need to know this information.
Get posting gents!

Status: offline 		I've got one of the winner 1 cars. Ran it for a while, there o.k. cars for the money. I never could get a really good tune on the engine though. So I put it aside and got the RS4 3 SS great car. Thought about making the smartech into an offroad.

Status: offline 		Yeah , i just got mine, and runs pretty damn well......i'll see how fast it goes today. But all i know is that is it fast for me compared to my old electric car! people have talked about breaking things the first time they used the car.....but no porblem with me here. I'm gonna stick with this one for a while......and gradually save up for a rs4 as they are meant to be really good. or i could just upgrade mine......i dont know yet, i got time
