description  Just built this up last night, was never a fan of the wheels and i felt the stickers made it look cool but a bit toyish, so i think i may leave it like this? or just repaint the panels a different colour? but thats not before i thrash it some need to change the wheels round to as in my haste i got the tire direction wrong, but you get the idea the kit is a very enjoyable build and half the price of the wild one, even comes with a snazzy little esc all for £69.99!! im glad i got this and not the WO now, hats of to kyosho this thing will provide hours of modding fun stuck in an old 3 ch radio i had, the car is really designed to have a 2.4ghz installed with the small arial tube provided in the cockpit so had to fit the whip arial on the back mods so far are pajero wheels sprayed black with HPI Yokohama tires, upgraded shocks to oil filled shocks (ansmann mad rat 75mm front/90mm rear) instead of the kit pogo sticks. EDIT: just took it out, this thing is pretty fast stock! happy to report that the new shocks make it perform really well, lots of understeer though!

I got one of these last weekand I too am waiting on some Ansman shocks and a 15T motor to drop into it. Kit version is cheap as chips. Lovin the wheels but I think I'll be trying something different.

It is my friend, I found some and they were cheaper than HPI's site and the came with free shipping so I didn't buy any more 'junk' as the wife puts it.

That is a cracking looking car that Sand Master. Think one of these could make me stray the straight and narrow
