Personally I think it would work the only problem is you get what you pay for, hop ups for it may never be found. The car runs on Nickel cadmium batteries not nickel metalhydrate. I found from experience that Nicd is less run time than NiMH. Its shaft drivin which is a plus but the electronics may need to be upgraded not brushless necessarily but something with a little more torque rather than what the car has. The video it looks quick but thats not always the case because theres things they dont tell you. If they told you the bad things then that would kill its marketing. I mean you could get it and check it out for us and write a review you could be on to something but we'll never know if you dont try. Thats my opinion on it take it or leave it.
