Wow... look at that price! I was thinking, "That's expensive!" until I saw the upgrades they've done to it.
My advice: Don't buy nitro unless you're prepared to tune/adjust the carburetor and deal with the greasy after-mess. And it's smelly and fairly loud (weed-wacker sound). You'll need to find a big, open parking lot to play with this car.
My suggestion is to buy the body from HPI Racing (
www.hpiracing.com - They're in Irvine, California) and buy the 1/10th scale electric kit. It's quiet, no emissions, does 45 mph (not scale, real MPH) out of the box, and you can add a full bearing set and hot electric motor to shove that up to 60 mph.
I have a nitro HPI Ford F150 Lightning now and I really wish I had the electric version. I would play with it a whole lot more. But beyond that, the HPI kits are GREAT. There are various sway bars you can buy, different tire compounds and foam inserts (to simulate tire pressures), etc. It's a very tuneable chassis.
