It's a Zip with AFX GForce Slot car axel, wheels, and tires (had to drill a little as the rear axel was bigger, and ground clearance is next to nothing). The AFX kit was $6.00 which came with the rear axel and tires. The front are AFX and they were $2.00 for the wheels and tires. The body is from www.scaleauto.com , which by the way has everything slot car. The big arse thing on the back is my homemade turbo module that adds second battery voltage after an adjustable delay. I bought everything I needed to make it from the Shack for under $10.00...and things like resistors came in 3-5 packs so if you fry one when soldering no biggie. So far I've got about an extra $20.00 and countless hours into this silly thing, but the fun makes it worth it.
