Seen the car close up on display at Leisure Hours hobby shop yesterday. In my opinion, it is ok but not worth the $1000+ they are asking. I can see where the battery doors at the bottom can become an issue, especially if the twist locks vibrate open during speed runs. Should have designed this like the XO-1, flat chassis with no openings, mounting the batteries to the top of the chassis. Like the body (since I am an Audi R8 fan). The motor/ESC looks very stout. Could have come with better tires.
