Looking good. Not familiar with the kit either but I have mentioned in other threads, be careful when driving because the aluminum arms bent and don't return to the natural shape like plastic. I learned that the hard way.

to save up enough money for an ARR Duratrax street force for $159 bucks ,we use to race them
up an down are street together my Street force would keep up with it ,but we had every kid on
the block out watching us ,but the sound of their 2 spds were awesome ,I actually miss that car ,

Oh ok. Shes definitely got some bling on her and you definitely got your moneys worth :)
 
It comes as a plastic kit with all the optional upgrades or the cyclone pro has a fue of the upgrades already installed such as the 2 speed transmission shocks and lower suspension arms but there's lots of variety... If you where looking a good cheep kit I would recommend it bro ps IV clocked it at 47 mph
All the upgrades have coste over £400 quid 🤔😫

I'm not really a touring car guy unfortunately. I bought an Associated TC3 once and it just didnt do anything for me. One and only touring car I ever owned. IDK maybe I'll try another one day but as for now the only two on road cars I ever enjoyed are my 100+MPH Rustler and my Arrma Felony but those are very different from a touring car. I love the way they look though :)
 
Looks good man. You got to take it for one last run. The sound of a nitro shifting is awesome I love it. Nothing better well maybe the smell of nitro in the morning.😉👍👍🤣🤣🤣
