Even better.........
Bad *** RC cars!
These things haul *** too! They can easily get up to 60 - 70 mph!!
A guy that I work with races these cars. He has been bringing them in to work and we've been ******* around with them. They are sweet! The best part is that there is a rotary engine out there for them, it isn't on the link I posted, but as soon as I find it I'll post it!

Where did you get that one? Is it electric, or nitro? I've been holding off on buying one because I want a 2nd gen body, and have not been able to find one (I haven't looked very hard). I know that they are out there. Plus I'd like to get the rotary nitro engine. That would be pretty ******' cool!!!

What 2'nd gen? the big one is an FD and the baby is a skyline.
The FD body is made by yokomo it will fit any 1/10 scale car elec. or nitro.
That car is a 4wd elec. I had a 1/8 scale 4wd nito but realised I was an ******* for spending like $1200 on a gas r/c car , so I sold it a few months later!.
That rotary engine is a piece of crap by the way, it's expensive as hell and doe'sn put out that much power for it's size.

It's pretty damn quick for it's size, a little on the fragile side, but so easy to take anywhere, no special batteries/chargers just some AA and AAA batteries. For $125 I think it was worth it.
I just added working headlamps and tail lamps in the skyline. What a ***** on that little car to work!!!
