My FW-05T is on the way. I found a great deal on it on e-bay here in Germany, after being persuaded by more than one German that it'd smoke an HPI RS4 Evo(I love my Savage, so wanted an RS4 - but the Kyosho was 2/3 the price while being supposedly significantly better!)

Is this car a decent parking-lot basher? If not, what mods should I do to make it one?

I have a V one S as a general use car (I don't think i'll ever have the time to race). Haven't had any real problems in the 6mths i've had it (except for a leak in the fuel tank seam). But it's also nowhere near as quick as I thought it would be.

I do, however, have severe understeering problems but am preparing to strip the car and fill the front diff with grease in an attempt to reduce this. To compound the problem it has throttle off oversteer which I'm hoping a change of tyres and a rear wing will fix.

The Plus has threaded aluminum shocks and some other goodies. For people who have the RRR k factory makes an aluminum chassis with graphite put in to all the soft spots, so it's a blen of bothe graphite and Aluminum. They also makee aluminum pulleys and aluminum fron middle shaft mount. There is not really much you can do to make the RRR lighter. With cars like that you can only make it heavier with eye candy.

It's a V one S (I don't have the skill to handle a RRR). See my earlier post for my opinon on the car.

And hey, what motor should I keep an eye out for as an upgrade? I'd like to see 100kph..(61mph..) I guess gearing is important too..
