    First proper race car I ever bought, Cost £99, In my case it was a good car other than the gearbox, A plastic middle with an alloy plate either side, In my case the tolerances were not great and the diff didn't sit square in the housing, That and the fact it was belt driven made made it very tight and rough transmission.

     Also a bit on the high side at £179, There really isn't much to it, There's more parts to a Kinder Egg toy.

    Looks so clean!

     

    Have Traxxas seen that front suspension?  ?

     

    It would make a great shelfer next to an original....

     

    I've owned two of these...they're so light it's untrue...not for bashing though?

     

    Schumacher don't sell to u.s market through a mainstream distributor, so they'd be safe on I.p infringement....

     

    Besides...schumacher is one of the father companies of rc....the original top cat came out in 1988..... Traxxas was only starting to make buggies that where poor clones of tamiyas by then....
