Cool

£71 from Halfords, reduced from £119 - cool as owt. anyone got any tips/know owt about these things ?

can the wheels/shells be changed - looks like they can. the battery pack takes 7 hours to charge which is a bit of a bummer.

car looks cool as owt and goes like stink, just like the original....

Buy yourself a quick charger. Only takes 30 mins.

Upgrade to an electronic speed control unit and throw in a better motor for more speed. 12T is a bit rapid
