To each their own. As long as you like it, thats the main thing.

I've never seen one, but perhaps if you stick a picture up here, you may find more favourable comments than you might suspect. (or maybe not) but I'm sure that some helpful chaps out there will be able to advise you.

ME, sorry, haven't a clue.

There were two versions of the grave digger 1/6. The first came out 5 years ago and was around 300 bucks. It had dual shocks on each tire and was more heavy duty then the more recent one at Walmart. I had two of them.

Pretty fast for the size 8 to 10 mph I reckon. Sold one and had the shelf queen fall off of a 6ft shelf and crash to the ground. Broke the rear swing arm off the frame. No parts available from Tyco and the new version is for single shock set up. That was a bad day. Still waiting to fix it, it is cool for the sheer size and weight.

I did a eBay search to see what kind of car you guys are talking about and one eBay store had a tyco grave digger with dual shocks. Live auction links isnt allowed but do a search. Buy it now price is $450 []. Atleast looking at the pictures is free.

They have the single shock model on Ebay for a measly uS$ 89.. I've seen them in the danish equivalent of Wal-Mart and didn't even consider it. They look awful...

Scratch that, they can be found, buy it now, for uS$ 75. And not buy it now with starting price of uS$ 59... Still not worth it IMHO...
