Nice car, I have an identical one. Make sure your fuel tank can breathe. My first run was pure frustration, they drift like nothing you've ever seen, but the chassis is soft as poo, so be careful what you hit.

Lastly, that air filter you have will be no good in dusty areas. Be sure to stick an outerwear filter cover on it, even if you are just running on clean asphalt. If you plan to rally, fit a foam filter instead. Enjoy, they're a blast!

thank you!

I'm sure is an awesome car.

normally I never order hobby stuff on line, maybe just a few things from tower and amainhobby.

who would you recommend to oder this from? A reputable business!
I hate scams or bad customer service [:'(]

Im not buying it right away, but I have to keep convinsing myself that I need one [&:]

AWD.... unless theres another version I'm unaware of? [:-]

I have seen it from a few places online but I don't know any of these companies.

is pro5thscale and largescalerc.com good places to order from? or any other place you have deal with in the past.

I will call LHS tomorrow , Im sure they can get it, but I wanna shop around to see what deal they have to offer [>:]

There's no decision, it's the only AWD on-road car, and therefore the only large scale drift candidate!! Sorry FS guys, I'm afraid that in my own personal opinion, the FS car does not count due to it's non-standard dimensions. 430mm track width!!?!? No thanks.

Curious...isnt the track width easily changed w/ a change to MCD wheels? Or is there more to it?
