Strongly disliked it, when the first re-release was announced, back in 2015.

 

Now, however... I do kind of like it! @Gaz! where are you getting that price from? I've been searching, but can't find anything.

EDIT: Ahh, do you mean the 2015 was £115?

 

Would it be sacriligious to have it lowered, hunkered-down and a more race-focused setup? Can the chassis even do that? I'm just thinking it would be really amusing to rip one of these around a small racetrack. As for wheelie machines, I have several.

Yes mate, back in 2015, lol, ive had had another if i could get one for that.

 

chassis wise its the same as the wild willy amongst many others, TL-01 hubs and knuckles and rear hubs, the lower arms are im 90% sure they are off the TL-01 too….

as for shocks, that would be easily overcome too, i had touring car shocks on mine, in fact, ill try to find a pic if i still have them.

 

edit, can’t find any, must had got rid of them, i did mine two tone, Tamiya ts52 lime ice with gunmetal grey lower half. Proper gutted i don't have any pics……

 

after all that, @PraetoR yes mate, more than doable, might need a gyro though…..
