no.. you will be hard pressed to find parts for that

RE: car??
 

Can you provide either a manufacturer name or a link?

RE: car??
 

looks like the smartech (and it has a smaretch sticker on it)

in which case parts will be easy to find :)

RE: car??
 

definately a smartech... www.smartechracing.com

It would be easy to find parts for but there are many nice nitro touring cars out there on the market.

Its the smartech winner 2, but on their website i can only find the [link=http://www.smartechracing.com/web_2005/product/cars/10142/main.asp]winner 1?!?[/link]

Ya thats a smartech. I have one and there pretty good for the money... No hobby shops have parts for them but there are tons on ebay. It wont go 60 il tell ya that right now, but they are quick enough for your first car. The instruction manual sucks and doesnt tell you how to break it in or anything which you will need to do. If i were you i might go for an hpi or a traxxas vehicle. They have very detailed manuals and if you follow them, you cant go wrong.
