Yeah this one cost $400 with all the bells and whistles (fuel, glow igniter, batteries, new glow plugs, fuel bottle, glow plug wrench, etc). I have an elctric one also, which runs like ****. I was able to find it today, though, and scavenge the radio (control) from it and a fresh set of batteries and wheels with new tires! Not too bad for getting the electric for free...the electric I have used to do about 25 but it'd wear the batteries SO quick it wasn't even funny.
Lee-I am pretty sure those bodies weren't the right size. I was lookin' at them a while ago for my electric (came size as the gas car). I have a 200mm body and those were either 190 or 140.
rfreeman- I'll take that car! I could use a spare chassis and the engine might be useful also...
MazdaMike- I am gonna keep this one AWD, cause it runs really well like this. I might try making my electric RWD though! Sounds like fun.

Oh yeah they did, too bad my TC3 is 190 and that kit on the HPI body looks a tad fugly., but i should probably still get one.
I think theres spacers to make 190 into 200 that came with it?
And the magnets on my mod (FAST) motor broke so i havent gotten new ones yet.
I need to find a place that has a big area of the smooth slick concrete layed down to try and drift on it.

This is all the stuff I have so far....the second radio (in the background) is the Futaba I scavenged from my old electric, and you can see my STi wheels on the left that I took from that same car.
