Nope Its a ripoff bro. theres a cheap r/c shop near me that model is selling for $350 with remote. That remote is a dead give away too. its a cheap peice of sht! I have a petrol one myself. The parts on that car are cheap. i dont no the brand name but its a cheap brand. Once thoughs cars get used for a while the pisten ring gives way and its 80bucks plus the 40dollar fee fitting to replace. that dudes probably trying to sell it befor it goes

i got an R34 petrol car i havnt used it for a few weeks though. i might have a play with it tomoz. Wen i got my 1st petrol car wen i was like 14 i would race cars up and down our street (a 60 zone) so i would win coz the petrol car would do like 70-80 and theyd be stuck on 60

Yeah that looks like its been used a bit more than 1 hour... ShyVL what are you on about "Looks like its got the custem 20dollar exausght" those tuned exhausts are usually 80-100 bucks. Or are you saying its just a dodgy cheap one? My 2c would be to spend a little bit extra and buy a brand new one if you can unless its really been looked after well. I put a 2 speed g/box in mine and once it gets in to second the back wheels spin and it turns around cause its putting out to much power, by then its usually down the road cause its already going so fast. I was going to invest in a 4WD conversion but I still want to be able to do burnouts in it :P and havent got around to it etc...
