They're a good all-round car suited to car park bashing, but you'd struggle to win any races with it. Spare parts are also cheap and easy enough to find.

This is mine...

Status: offline 		Thanks! You're right, there are loads of option parts availible for it - Fastrax produce a line of aluminium and carbon fiber parts, and Sabattini (official Thunder Tiger option parts) sell others, although they're somewhat harder to find.

[edit] Yup, 1/10 scale, 200mm wide.

Status: offline 		Any ideas on which shell would look good on it?

I would like a mini cooper shell which is 1/10 scale. So would that fit?

Status: offline 		Depends what you like really, personally I like the look of the Sagaris - that'll be my next shell.

A 1/10 scale Mini Cooper should fit perfectly as long as it's 200mm wide (electrics are 190)

It really depends on what mini cooper body you're referring to. You need to make sure it is the right width for your car and that the wheelbase is correct. Mini coopers are really short wheelbase cars so it's unlikely you're going to find one that will fit a standard touring car while still looking right.

Out of what's available i'd go with Byrons Race Gen 2 - i've only heard good things about it.
