-First off, I really enjoy my RR due to the low cost. A full proportional RC car for under $60USD!
- Controller is very good IMHO - as long as you don't look at it, that is!:-) It'll work for now. I love the steering sensitivity to add or subtract to the challenge of driving.
- Fit and finish of the chassis. Top notch.
- Speed is good for a small living room track. Anything with straight aways longer than 15 feet will show the lack of top end.

Dislikes:
-Of course the tires are bad on carpet - as everyone has said. I kinda enjoyed the jumpiness of the tires on carpet - reminded me of a muscle car with entirely to much horsepower. I dialed down the steering sensitivity accordingly on my impromptu track and tried to slide around the corners. This car really gets wild as it neared top speed or accelerating hard and beginning to turn into a corner.
- The stock body is really flimsy. It reminded me of the plastic type stuff which holds valentines day chocolates in the box. There really is very little detail in the body. The wing in the back isn't a wing but a squared off "brick" with sticker shadows. But hey, it's a cheap car so what do I care. I buy a body and I'm still coming out ahead.
- No guidelines about decal placement. I had to guess from the pic on the box. Kinda cheesy looking as well.
Uncertainities:
- Tires will try them on concrete before I give up on them.
- Needs 180 motor
