WHY WOULD YOU DO ALL THAT WORK and still have a sub standard rig? I totally get the hobby aspect of what you're trying to do and I applaud you for that. You're right for $30.00 they are sweet. I've owned 15 of those cars not to mention the 8 I purchased to sell to a hobby shop. For what they are they are cool, but when it comes down to the nitty gritty, I have to go with Bermbuster on this one. Even an old MR-01 will handle better.
If you dig it, go with it.
