Rocket Racers are 1/24 scale ready to run cars. The price is $49 to $139 depending on where you buy them! They are fully proportional and you can upgrade them to race with any other 1/24 car. Faster than an epoch and close to a mini Z.

Controller range about 1 city block from the end of my street to the other end.. and I cant see the car that far off either...

Most of the MiniZ parts do not fit DRR's, but the bodys do.

Aktv parts fit including the bodies.

how fast are the DRR?? mph? About 5- 7mph stock Is a guess

how fast could you get it with a more powerful motor?

Faster then a 1st generation t-maxx... Roughly 20 or so mph. Maybe faster I have no real way of telling the speed till I get a officer in ny area to gun it for me.

with the setup I have right now I would guess around 30mph or so. Its too fast for me. It rivals my IWC Street Weapon with a 20-turn stinger motor but not my 9 turn double or cource.

oh about the elec.'s

Look and see if you can squeeze a Atom ESC and a XXXL Reciver in to one. I don't have access to either and I don't want to order them unless I know they fit, I am a very poor guy.
