Haven't seen them THIS big before....

... sounds kind of like a McCullough or Poulan, but maybe the aftermarket will work up a sport exhaust? :biggrin

OK, I found it. About $650 and well worth it. Take a look at www.hobbytron.com/GasPoweredRCCar3CHRTRH5FordGTJHCH5.html

How does this compare to Nikko or Nitro RC cars

I don't know much about the RC cars. I flew airplanes about 30 years ago and I know the Futaba system was a great product then. The thing I like about this car is the 1/5 scale and the size of the engine. For me it would be like working on the real thing almost and I wouldn't have to use a magnifying glass to see what I was doing. The guys in the video seemed to be impressed with the chassis, suspension and disk brake system. The thing sure hauled butt and seemed to hold the ground well. I wish they made it in white/blue but I suppose a paint job could be done to solve that issue. I am hoping to add this to my Santa list. :thumbsup

Careful, there's a few versions of this item - some have been upgraded to full metal gears & had numerous other tweaks done... this may be an old stock version for $650...

There is also some rumours re this seller u should be aware of...
