Anyone own one ? Thoughts or input ?

I was just talking to my wife today about how it was over a grand when it came out and now it is less than $700. The thing is where would you go to drive it at 100 mph. I live in the woods and have nowhere to run a road car like that.

Don't have one, but seen a few explode on youtube...

I hear you need a real smooth road and room to stop.

I did see a video of one drifting , pretty cool.

Skip to 2:55. Imagine taking that to the shin. Ouch.

I was down in Miami last week and saw those guys doing 120 MPH for a few hours. Definitley eye opening that RC cars could go that fast.

One of the guys I work with picked one up and quickly realized unless you own a race track there is really nowhere to use it. The road must be fairly smooth and extremely long and straight to have any hope of getting anywhere near full throttle out of it.

He quickly got bored of it and sold it less than two months after he picked it up.

I was a the hobby shop around january and saw a guy who was picking his up. now the hobby is in city so i asked him where he was going to use it so it wouldn't get trashed.he told Met life stadium and he told me he was a NY giant #42.then he said if i wanted to try it meet him at the stadium.i thought that was pretty cool.

I'm not worried about my shins. If I ever got hit with that I'd be worried about walking again or having lower legs. Just the parts spray would mess you up pretty good.

Would be an epic story, though.

I'm surprised the chassis didn't completely taco on impact.

Definitely, I would like to hear it. After the owner recovered from his stroke from crashing a $1,000+ r/c car.
