which is right in the midrange of the other cars i've been looking at..

but associated is a good company.. okay i'll add this one to the list of considerations. even if i have to give up making it and get an RTR..
thanks


ps: where can i find a good deal on the Kyosho Lazer ZX5, its not on tower hobbies which would make it a hassle to get different components from different websites (shipping adds up :[ ) but for the most part it looked pretty good... i think i am leaning more towards 4wd

pps: thanks for clarifying the turns... so a 15 t motor would spin faster, but would need to be geared down to compensate.. but would the car overall would have more torque right, not necessarily more speed (torque usually helps speed it up though but not directly)

one last clarification.. what is the main difference between a 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive buggy? (including the effects on battery life, maintenance and performance on various surfaces)
