As others have said here you will be better served in the RC Car forums. However I used to race 1/10 scale Touring. What you bought apears to be some sort of home brew probably low production car. The add states that it's parts are compatable for replacement from other brand cars... Sounds like it was peiced together with these parts. You would be better off just getting one of the major brands. These guys love using the sales tactic of showing you a greatly reduced price, in this case 50%, for a "limited time"; Yea, right! Sorry man but I am afraid you bought junk. In the world of R/C you are better off going with the major brands and pay a little more because especially in R/C... You get exactly what you pay for. That car is not, was not and never will be worth $200 let alone $400. In the future I recomend you post your questions about a product prior to making the purchace. I know you where hoping to get a positive response about this car but you had to have some suspicion to the contrary to have posted the question. Good luck.
