Woohoo, enjoy your SS Chuck. They're pretty cool, hm? If you're afraid to do some work inside, then well, try outside. Those metal bars atop the PCB cover are primed and ready for you to attach a lightmod to. I'm sure you could do some nice paintjobs or other customization too. Anywho, my review: Super Slicks..good, bad, or just ugly? Well..in my opinion, they're good. Quicker than just about any other Micro RC I've owned, and certainly the quickest bang for the buck on the market right now. Yeah yeah yeah, propo can bite me. I know its great and all, but these cars do well without them anyhow. Its not just another clunky magnet driven steering mechanism. Its certainly innovative on a micro car. While some may have trouble with drifting at first (I still do) keep up with practice, and you'll pull one off. (I've done at least three fully sideways drifts). The bodies are awesome, theres certainly a diverse selection, and the detailing is not too shabby at all. These things will run just about anywhere and will for sure climb and jump that ramp that comes with it (The ramp is also cool for you Mini Z, X-Mod, and other small scale RC owners). I think if these cars got a decent following, we'd have one heck of a mini rc. Pros: Amazing speed, level of control, oozing with mod-potential, nicely detailed bodies. Charge seems to last forever..and the things aren't as poorly constructed as other micro RC's on the market, mines survived quite a few steep jumps onto concrete, and still gets up and runs like its brand new. Cons: No propo for the propo nazis out there, but if you learn how to talk to the throttle and steering, it can hang just as good. Car size may turn some off. The stigma attached to it being a TRU exclusive (Just ignore where its coming from, the thing is well worth the money. I tend to have Mini RC's break all the time, this one has survived just about every kind of punishment imaginable, and its still tough as the first day I got it.) Overall, a great car..the market is a bit flooded right now, but if we get a decent community of these, who knows..maybe someday the things WILL be propo.
