Thought I would share my view on the car after spending two evenings with it.

+'s
- Nice detail on the car
- Drives VERY well. No glitching, tracks straight, turns sharp. Best small car I have by far.
- Modular components
- I like the small scale (compared to Iwaver and xmod) should fit on a track better.

-'s
- Battery charger is poor, using AA batteris in case to charge the nimh batteries. Takes a looong time Instructions say 40 minute probably like 20 or so.
- You have to BUILD IT. I mean assemble, but for these big hands it takes awhile to put it together. Good news, you only do that once.
- Really kinda dissapointed with the speed on the first run, but after another round of charging on the batteries the car ran longer and faster. Nice speed I think for a small track. Will try it on my track soon.
- Found a place to get addtional saddle pack batteries (see battery thread) so you can get 2 or 3 sets to extend the fun.

My first impression is that I wished they had raised the price and improved on the battery/motor situation. After the second charge though, I really enjoyed it and will leave it just "as is" for awhile. You can always upgrade the motor and batteries later, the car handles soooo good. I am comparing it to an xmod and a Iwaiver since I have those models.
