Joe,
You have purchased a Associated RC12L3. It is a 6-cell chassised 12th scale car. It is still the current model from Associated. The front end on the car is still being used by just about every single 12th scale car manufacturer and is the car is still on the fast end of the speed scale. You can also find lots of spares for those at most hobby shops. Are you racing it on carpet or asphalt? Mod or stock? I can give you some raw setup ideas for the car. How much did you get it for?
