Schumacher Rascal

[A-x-l-e]

I've asked this on another forum but figured I would also ask here as some of you may have some opinions and ideas.

I am a complete noob to Nitro's. I have just got hold of a Rascal and am after some tips and tricks for improving it.

Obviously until I actually get my hands on it and see what condition it is in I cant give any specifics but I am assured it is as it was when bought but has had light use.

Really, until I get a feel for driving it the only thing I am considering changing immediately is the body. Although I like the appearance of it I would like to have a more individual look to it. I have seen an Escort van which Kamtec have for it but would like any other suggestions before making a decision.

Once I have adjusted from my Vintage Schumacher, Kyosho and Tamiya electrics to driving the Rascal I will be looking to upgrade it so any suggestions as to what I should change first.

Also any recommendations for tyres which would be good for beach running and snow will also be appreciated.
