Just purchased a Dynamite Rocket Racer! This is an excellent car for the price. I wanted a car smaller than my Micro RS4 to run in the basement and it is a perfect fit. I do miss the traction that the 4WD RS4 has, but the handling of the DRR is excellent overall. It does tend to understeer (loose traction up front) on my slippery concrete basement floor and I cannot take a straightaway at full speed due to my traction situation. Overall controllable speed is somewhat slow with 4 AAA's, but it has signficantly better tracking and handling than my stock mini-z sedan on the same surface. The removable battery holder makes the car very versatile, and at least you can get started with cheap AAA batteries. I'm sure the ball diff and decent tires have something to do with the good handling. As mentioned earlier, this is a good car to create an affordable racing/club class around. I do plan to resurface my basement floor with a higher grip paint sometime soon which should help my traction situation. This is a great car considering that it is priced about the same as a mini-z ready set.
