Get the Associater TC3, can take all kinds of bodies, wheels, motors etc., etc. You can get nitro or electric powered. Great selection of bodies. If you want a smaller car go with the X-Ray micro and do a modified motor and foam tires, Really fast and handles great! I race every weeend on in-door Carpet road course. I have a Micro, 1/10 scale, and a stock Tamyia Mini Cooper FWD. Lots of fun!
