hey.i went to some races a little while ago aniond i saw one there. it was pretty good. im not sure what ur lookin for but it was fast and had great acceleration. the bad part was that this was in a parkinglot so it wasnt off road. go to www.duratrax.com and c if there're are any videos. if not go to yahoo and search for maximum st videos. also is this ur first car. if it is i would go w/ electric. theyre much more reliable.
