Fooking love those things!!

Like Cos47 I had one a few years ago - but I'm glad I sold it, cos after I'd thrashed it everywhere for 50,000 miles it felt pretty fooked!

Make sure you change the starter motor as it doesn't like to kick it into life all the time

mi-16 it mate!superb little motors then,power and handling.just make sure you fit the mi-16 box in too.it'll give it a nice top end down the track straights a 1.9 box will run out of puff.mi-16 is good for 150mph

plus with the grunt the mi has it'll spin the wheels easy enough on the mi box let alone the 1.9 box.

top looking car though mate.
