I was also considering buying one of these. I am wondering though, is there any aftermarket parts to convert one to an off road type car. I would prefer a car with some good shocks, a little ground clearance, and some knobby tires. Or do they make a model that is off road? I realize they're small so the ground clearance would be minimal at best but I don't know if I want to buy a car that can only be run on relatively smooth surfaces and I would like to have one this size.
