    That's sweet man....I have been making rc cars out of things that didn't belong for 30 years and anytime I made a car go that fast and used the old plastic gears that came in it they would melt literally so that is awesome....that car needs a marble floor or concrete slab no bumps at all just scale buildings and it would rule....again nice work..take care my friend 👍 👍👍👍👍

    I like it, but I think it would run better with some foam tires or slicks. I think the foam or rubber would have better grip on the road especially with the lack of suspension, and those hard plastic tires that came stock with it look like they just can't take all those little bumps at the increased speed.
