Bought this over the weekend while waiting for the hurricane to hit...

won't get it till later this week or maybe even next week

 

Are you gonna open it or leave in the box? If you do open it, let me know if it is pretty fast, I keep seeing this same GT at my local Toys' r us and want to buy it, but I am afraid that it will be slow.

 

As soon as I get it I will let you know... this is the 1/10 scale one. It is faster than the 1/14 scale . this one is supposed to go almost 20mph so I will tests its limits . I also ordered a second battery so that I can play for more than 10-15 min.

( click on bodies then 200mm)

heres an gt40 body that costs 20$ for a ''real'' R/C

 

Car was delivered today. I will charge the battery when I get home. 4 hours later I will be driving my GT B)

 

Yeah definetely let me know how fast that GT is.

(sits patient waiting and giggling like a 5 year old)

 

Well it is a blast I do have a couple problems with it though

1. Steering is very touchy. hard to just swerve or turn a little. So it spins out rather easily.

2. Tires do not grip in any type of semi loose surface or if trying to turn from a dead stop.

3. I have drained 4 maybe 5 batteries now and I almost worn the rear tires into slicks :angry:

It does go fast. It is fun to drive. I am getting better at the handling. I am going to custom paint it and upgrade everything I can So I have to say let the modding begin. This $140 toy is going to get expensive.

Oh and the body is pretty tough. I have ... ummm... ran it into a wall and curb a few times already :bang: and it has on received some scratches.
