oh i drive the hell out of it. it is pretty fun for an on road car. it's slightly under geared and it's still faster than hell with that 8.5 motor.
what's cool about on road shaft drive cars is when you run them in big open parking lots where there's nothing to hit, they don't ever break. so the only real wear items are tires.
and i could probably find what i need for it on ebay, the TC4 had a pretty long lifespan. iv just never bothered to look. the way i figure it, eventually stuff will start to get sloppy and it won't drive right. i bought this car as a prebuilt slider at the end of the TC4's life when i think AE was gearing to towards being a VTA platform. i don't remember how much i paid for it, but i think it was sub $200. so when it wears out ill just get a newer supported chassis and swap my electrics over and shelf this thing. no harm, no foul, ill have gotten my moneys worth out of it.
