Well...I kinda made my own rear wheel drive car...Ford Escort Mk2 Rally...

You can see some parts of the build here (I need to update it some more)...I just got the front disc brakes working....

the what is a highly probable piece of crap this thread is about doesn't compare to the slightest of your well designed vehicle that it looks like a lot of planning, and thought was put into

This HPI design on the other hand reminds me now that I think about it of a $25 tyco I had in the early 90's that had no suspension at all, and handled like crap. I think it also had a solid rear axle come to think of it.
Hey thanks...I understand fully!...I was weened on the HPI Supers and still have a couple of them...what boggles the mind is if someone like myself without any engineering skills, but just basic skills built up from tinkering with rc cars and trucks can come up with a halfway decent build, how come they won't?
