Looks good!
Any performance mods?
Having played a little with mine it could really do with...
More power - obviously
A diff in the rear axle
Better steering geometry (very poor as standard)
Better remote range
Lights for night driving
...wait a minute I want a proper RC car with suspension and everything!
Still for £7.50 it was a bargain and it's kept no. 1 nipper amused for a while.

Is it still digital with the steering IE either on or off or are the "new" ones proportional? The one we got last year was either full
lock one way or the other....
