congrats :)

Very cool. Now that I have been playing with this, I'm thinking of getting an off-road vehicle next so that I can drive around without worrying about going on the grass.

Thanks!

I've really wanted an RC car for a long time. I have one in a closet some where from 10+ years ago. I wonder if I could upgrade it myself...you know, trick it out :p - It doesn't work, and wasn't too fast even when it did work.

I only have a blacktop court, so I can't drift it much (if you could even call it drifting). But I've tried. You can already see some of the wear on the tires.
