Yeah, but with electrics, its a different kind of tinkering. The car will run great..you will just want to make it better. I had a nitro buggy....I will never touch nitro again. You couldn't give one to me free (well...you could, but I'd just sell it).
The Delphi will give you all the parking lot bashing fun you are looking for...but that's it. Not much tuning, not much tinkering, etc.
If that's really what you want, go for it. But is it? Are you sure? You seem to be the kind of person that gets something, gets into it, then goes and gets something else (like most of us)...something he maybe should have gotten all along. You thought your Hummer was what you wanted...now you bought two $400 monster trucks.
You think the Delphi is what you want...but it isn't.
That's why it's only 80 bucks RTR.
Make a good decision. Get the Losi XXX-S.
