Looks like it has some real hp. I'd be afraid of it.
under the hood she sports a .18 cc small block that puts out about 2hp @ 37,000 rpms. A far cry from the 8.0 liter V-10
rear diff shot.. Oh yea it awd
Awesome looking little car. Where'd you get that at? How much?
www.hpiracing.com They start at 350.00 and could end up costing into the thousands like mine.
Ha!!
Looks like fun

Grab has the coolest toys. Period. .
That is sweet! Did you do the paint yourself?
After playing around with electric cars, stadium trucks and boats I finally picked up a nitro about 2 years ago.
Not a major hobby of mine so I went lazy this time by buying a preassembled Street Force GPR. AWD and 2 speed transmission...till today the performance just blows me away.
First time out I took it to the highschool parking lot to break it in. I REALLY "broke" it in. After a few minutes of playing around the car just took off WFO. All I could do is just yell NOOOOO as it went in a big arc across the lot and crashed into the concrete curb at 60 mph. It just blew up in slow motion.
I didn't have the body on it yet and it landed up-side-down. Front wheels were completely gone and one back wheel was making contact with the ground causing it to spin around in a blur like a top. Few pieces of the front suspension ended up on the roof of the school.
It was only about 10' away from me when it quit responding. Went back to that exact spot and found the crystal laying there!
Much to my surprise Duratrax covered everything with no arguing. I sent them a huge list of damaged parts and within a week I had all the replacements. They even offered to repair the car if I wanted to send it in.
Few hours of replacing parts and she was new again. Lots of fun over the past 2 years and of course I now keep that crystal siliconed into place and installed a safety return spring on the throttle.
It still scares the hell out of me to think what can happen with these cars. 0-60 in the blink of an eye and if they go out of control, anyone in its path is going to be in for a world of hurt. And they do attract the crowds!
