RE: hurricane copy
The Ebay car for $179 looks more like the Duratrax Raze, even down to the body paint scheme. There are lots of raze parts available online or at your LHS. The one with the black wheels shares a lot of parts similar to kyosho, redcat and the raze. Any of these would probably be starter sets and you could upgrade parts as they break. Good deals though. I have a couple 1/10 cars, a smartech speedy car and a redcat tsunami I converted to a truggy with some of their buggy parts, looks nice. The body sat too high for my taste.
