    Awesome! Now convert it to a Nitro fueled motor. There's nothing like a 3.5cc motor that makes 2.5hp @ 32,000 rpm's! I don't think they come as a boxer though ;)

    Ha ha i believe that! Do you race indoors or just have it for craps and laughs? With thoses tires, i would guess indoor only at the moment.

    Those are strictly on road/ indoor cars, I have one too I got excited and tried painting it too fast (hobby store was closed so I used krylon from Walmart) so it's not as cool. Op don't waste your money on lights and stuff, it's purely a headache and they really don't work as well as you would hope. Just My $0.02. Though

    YEah, this is my indoor car. I am also building an XV01 for my step son. That is more of an outdoor rc car. More of the parts are enclosed. Im almost done with that and will post pic too. The body is Petters 07 Monte Carlo STi

    This is a tt01 or something isn't it? It's been like a year sense I've touched mine, I don't even know where it is if im honest. I like the solid plastic tires though, I got those too. How much fun was mounting those suckers for you?

    yep, its a TT01E. Basically the E means easy :) It was pretty easy to build and to service parts

    Dont get me started on those damn tires. I was using a screwdriver to get them on!

    I tried a screwdriver, rims were too flimsy for that, thought I was going to snap the wheels, I ended up using 2 pieces of wood, 1x6 ish lol aboard for a deck.. Sandwiched the wheel with them and then stood/jumped on it.. Worked like a charm.
