By the way...the blower unscrews from the bottom.
(for those who don't like it)
You could probably put a carbon fiber or flat black sticker on the hood to cover up the hole as it recessed enough that if something is laid over it will sit flat

It actually handles surprisingly well...and it's pretty fast... at least 3.0 speed...probably because it uses the bigger wheels in the rear... the tires are pretty sticky too...
the charging system in weird but cool.. you put the two AA's in this module and you plug the module into the bottom of the car...then once the car is charged, you plug the module into the remote and away it goes...
The remote has a big red shift light on it to show when the buttons are pressed (pretty cool)

HP doesn't have them for some reason?! They have every other muscle machine's line though. My next hit will be Target, then toys `r us, then resort to eBay and pay the ransom money for a muscle mustang...

Got my blue MM Mustang today . Very quick ,.. handling a
little shaky , but fixable . Using regular MM bodies
should be no problem ,.. there will be some minor
adjustments to the body like relocating the front
mounting screw ,.. ( different location ) and a rear
chassis locator slot needs to be made .

I picked up the orange / white `69 camaro at my LHS today, they finally got some in sadly no mustangs 
first impression: wow is it loud! lol...
something extremely unique to this car, the steering is done with a small motor and is setup like a mini-z's steering servo! No more magnets to bust off!
That also means that dual celling the car will be hard / impossible if you want it inside the shell, maybe if you used a PT cruiser body or something.
the car's balance is off because of this motor, the steering motor sits in the middle of the chassis with the battery on the passenger side, this makes steering in that direction tighter. It would be possible to dual cell it and balance out the chassis, but the hold down for the steering motor is on the drivers side and takes up a lot of landscape.
I dont feel like taking a picture at the moment, but I'm sure I will later, this car is different on the inside to say the least!
p.s. its the same length as my die-cast 1/64th MM cars
