Thanks for the responses guys!

Yes I do know how expensive the modifications can be for an R/C car like this, but thanks for the heads up. A lot of guys would probably think they're getting all they can get with just $250. I think it would be fun to start out by getting the kit first and building it up with my kids. Then I'll probably move on to some upgrades down the road.

Yep! My two boys are getting old enough to start appreciating some of the bigger boy toys! So I think they'll enjoy watching and helping me build a little car like this and then seeing it run around the block.

I can see that these types of toys could be a major addiction. I bet the car looks sweet with the NSX body on it.

Thanks! I'll look up Serpent and see what they have. Is the one you have a 1/8th size with a weedwacker engine? Because it seems that the R/C cars with the weedwacker engines are a lot more expensive than the Nitro powered car.

PhilSeastrand
Yes, that's the body that I saw available from the other vendor! I would definately have to get that body and paint it as close to Lemans Blue as I could.

The only other thing I was thinking about, was the next size up R/C from HPI which is the Super RS4 Nitros. They say they're about 20% bigger than the 1/10th scale which allows them to handle better overall. Anyone here who have Nitro cars have any suggestions?

Thanks again everyone and Merry Christmas
