I agree with simple cars like this one being valid, and for the price (I beleive $165.00 from Stormer) how can you go wrong. I never had a Mission but I had the Mi2 and it was pretty easy to operate in all, really good right out of the box and durable, I dig Schumacher...it was the sort of car that you really had to try to screw the set-up on it( to get it to perform poorly). The xxx-s was about the same. Lets put it this way.... you take a high-end car that is set up by a top level pro. Then you take a box stock Mi1. You trade cars with the Pro- who do you think is going to win? The Pro is. He has the skills behind the wheel, something that $$$ can't just handily replace. Anyways I see a number of adjustments that can be done on the Mi1. I honestly plan on grabbing one of these up sometime I see nothing wrong with older/cheaper.
