I think it may be brushless and 17.5 turns just to be on the safe side, not sure yet!
Andrew, I will certainly let you know how I get on, as soon as car arrives, I will start building it.
I wish I knew what local modelshop you had seen one in! I scanned the web and couldnt find one in a modelshop so had to order from abroad. Kit + Postage was £100 which I think is the UK rrp. I cant wait to build it, have ordered the paint and ball races.
I remember when my father took me to a modelshop in Castleford, a tiny place, stacked floor to ceiling with models. I thought a Hornet was the option but my dad just made me the happiest little boy when we got to the shop and pullet a Firedragon off the shelf! We took it home and a family friend, Bill, (a great engineer but never done a model) helped me build the car a week before Xmas (it needed to be sent back to Santa I thin kthe excuse was!) well he built it, I watched. Unfortunately Bill passed away suddenly last year and the first thought I had was of how kind he was in donating three nights of his time to build my car for me, RIP Bill.
I am sure if all of us go back to the first car we had, we get the same nostalgia feelings, thats why I have bought this!
Anyway, off to cry now as a sign of respect of my child hood! I cant wait till Harry (now 12 weeks old!) is old enough to go to the model shop for his first car!
