Thats a person( the seller) that doenst care about other people
He has raced that car a number of times and has failed to get into the C main which is pretty crap
I think i would be better if you bought a Stock standerd Tamyia TG10 and raced that you would have more sucsess

thats just my 2 cents
I dont think its a bad buy, just because the previous owner didnt win the Nationals in it. You could give Darren Cambells 710 to a crap driver & they will be lucky to finish a qualifier. As long as the car is in good condition, with a good setup & driver it could be a good thing. To buy all that stuff & start from scratch would cost well over $1000.00 even from HK. I have no idea who owned the car previously so I am only going by the description in the first post.

if this car doesn't show significant wear and tear it is an ok deal. the v1rr is a relatively old design, but for car park racing it is fine. infact, if you are a beginner or intermediate driver, it is a great car. i see no point in wasting$600+ on a mugen or a team tragic, i mean magic ( ) for car park racing. unless you race on a purpose built large track, you won't notice the difference.

now the stories people are telling here sound worrying. why did he insult you when you bought the car? and also, if the guy is a inarticulate BOGAN why did you buy it of him in the first place? usually bogans treat their toy cars like sh1t.

well it is in alrite condish but expect for the wheel on the back which i dont think is worth much to replece but other than that everything seems OK but wat ppl dat know him tell me about the history of the engine is quite worrying as der was no "shimer" or sumting so ive got no F'n idea and plus this wont see the track much as i prefer this to be a street racer
and yeah does anyone know how old the kit is and wen it was first manufactured and last cause i rang a couple of places upthey dont have the RR evo any more bu they got the RRR evo which retails around 700
so yea

cheers everyone for there input
