• 100% Factory assembled
• 2 channel radio installed
• Painted body
• Strong, fibreglass reinforced composite parts
• Super low centre of gravity
• Double foam air filter
• Metal bushings
• Steel drive cups and dog bones
• Roll over bar/ car handle
• Colour coated springs
• Triple belt, four wheel drive train
• Performance metal manifold & tuned pipe
• PRO 12BXS pull start engine
• Blue anodized chassis
• 2 speed system
• Metal shock absorbers
• Full ball bearings equipped
Is this good & what are the chances of the DeAgostini one being of the same standard, and not less? |
The car advertised will be the same quality, albeit i beleive there are one or two extras on the part by part build. such as working headlamps and chrome mirrors !
your right in your calculations at about £550-£600.
the same car can be bought for around £230, or about £100 on ebay second hand, unfortunately the cars are not available for self assembly.
there are plenty of available hopups for this car. they are quick enough for beginners ( and most regulars!) 2 speed gearbox (if it doesn`t come equipped with one), alloy parts etc etc .
IMHO buying new from a shop would be the best, cheapest and quickest way to owning one.
Adz..
