CONCLUSIONS:
The Roadrunner Xpress is an awsome racing car(note: it is not meant for backyard bashing), it's ultra light everything sits low(batteries wen in saddle config. and motor could sit through the chassi), it adjustible(camber caster).This car come souped up for racing, it comes with a one way pulley for better off throttle steering, all graphite stuff, universals, and it looks cool outta the box. It handles awsome, just a tinny bit of push on throttle and a bunch of sterring off. The cons of this car is that it has some breakable parts: the knuckles are easily broken when hit and ive seen arms break probably because of the fact that it is japan plastic(harder=less flex but more brittle) The caster adjustment tie rods are also easily bent.the universals, once bent could be bent back but in my case they all just snaped.The solution to these prbolems i have sloved:Yokomo front end(can survive alot of hits), big bumper, nerf wings, titanium tierods, yokomo universals(more ductile).I've won alot of races with this car, including 1st place in the 1998 GVR/CRC(Greater Vancouver Radio Controlled Racing Cars?orClub?)Touring car series and and 2nd place in a earlier 1998 GVR/CRC touring car point series. there are a few more races ive won but i dont remember where and when.

I will have pics as soon as im not lazy to get them processed and scanned
