There is a pretty detailed review of the car on this board in one of the other topic discussions in this forum. I just received one of these and so far I am impressed. Body detailing is on par with the mini-z. The handling is in my opinion better than a box stock mini-z on my concrete basement floor. The lack of dual rate steering on the transmitter means you will have your hands full with turning until you get used to the controls. A stock mini-z has more top speed, but I can turn lap times on par with my stock mini-z because of the handling. I am sure that the mini-z would be better on other track surfaces. Once I get more AA batteries (I am now using the nimh batteries that I use in my mini-z transmitter for the Epoch charging stand) I will try my mini-z perfex transmitter with this car. The dual rate steering control and full size mini-z transmitter should allow me to dial the handling in just right. If these cars become popular, hop up parts are possible. The chassis seems relatively easy to work on because most major components are held to the chassis using philips head screws. Except of course everything is about half the size of a 1/24 scale car. This scale allows you to build more detailed tracks than you could with larger scale cars in a small area like a garage or basement. That is the appeal they have to me. I did not think I would have this much fun with rc cars this small until I tried it. If you keep your track size down to a realistic size, these cars could be a blast to race. If these cars catch on, I would love to see them offer a version without transmitter for about 20-$30 less. I am sure most people on this board would agree with this.
