There is guy in galveston that had one, he would put the tires in the trolly track and said it would go twice as fast....aj

"What makes it go?"

"Where do you put the gas?"

"Will it go in the water too?"

"Where are the wires?"

"Can I try it?"

"Make it go faster!"

hey jason
i had to do a few mods to mine.
it would tip over easy. so i added 3 oz of weigh
to each side of the back axle right by the wheels.
and the rear end would slide out. so i put
wider tires on
plus when i ran it into the curb i stripped out the steering servo. so put in a heavy duty one with metal gears.
just to let you know what your in for.
