Hi Martin,
I have one of these, they are bloody fast and easy to use but they don't work over grass!! Only really tarmac I'm afraid!!
great fun and not too noisy either for a glow engine!

Nito

Nito - The second link in ChrisL's post above shows some add-on parts you can use to work on dirt, etc. No idea how good or not they are but up to the usual Tamiya standards I reckon.

I bought a Tamiya thing last year and it
was cr*p!
Gave it away and went and bought an HPI and
Schumacher car...they are the dogs danglies!
Carbon fibre bits, lovely annodised bits,
go like a rocket, great fun to build...get
on of those!
wish I had em now... I tend to go through
phases and my brother bought em off me...

I've had no problems with Tamiya. Schumacher are very good indeed (better than Tamiya but less mainstream and hence more for the real enthusiast market as opposed to the Tamiya mass market approach). A friend of mine had a Schumacher a few years ago. Great car.
