Got this today
Thought it would just be a case of fill it up and thrash it but no there is at least 5 tanks of "running in" needed before i can go mad with
it. 
Even have to tune it as well!!!
Should be fun when i can. 
Now i have a RC plane, helicopter, nitro truck and a mini stock. Hmmmm? whats next then?

Those wheels and tires would fit my fiat
It looks v expensive.
have you thought about racing the car, used to do it years ago, good fun and you get lots of help from others with experience in tuning.

those are expensive to repair....and your neigbours will hate you real soon....but fun none the less
I have 6 helicopters 10 planes 5 cars ...each heli is worth about £3000 just to start...and a crash starts counting at £100
last time I bought a ring for the motor in the car was about £25 not sure if the prices came down yet
have fun mate...get your self a simlulator to learn to fly..the counterotating heli is a waste of time as it flys itself..you will learn nothing about
learning to control all the AXIS you need to learn..
cheers

I found that my little co-ax Syma S107 heli is very useful for mastering orientation when flying - which way to turn when the model is going in
various directions. I agree that the controls don't match those of a real heli, but it is useful for getting the brain thinking about which way
to push the sticks.
I have a simulator, and it's very good and useful, but I find that once the model has moved into the distance it's impossible to work out
which way it's pointing - the screen's just not big enough and you don't get the 3D and perspective of the Mk1 eyeball (i.e. real
vision). I could use the 'chase plane' mode, but that's not a lot of use when I'm trying to simulate me standing on the ground
controlling a model. Auto-zoom isn't much better, as that doesn't give me any reference points once zoomed in.
Once my tricopter is finished I'll start real flying, and 'work up' my skills... the difference is that the total airframe cost is less
than £120, rather than £3000! Of that, £65 is for the Copter Control board, which hopefully will be near-enough indestructible (famous last words...
). The airframe is now built, the motors are fitted, and I'm just waiting for the Controller board, LiPo battery, connectors and wire to
finish it off.
Can't wait...
That car does look like fun... and I bet it'll make a fair bit of noise, as that's a BIG motor!
