Great looking car, stupid question here I always wondered what are they like to drive, they seem strong like a brick do they drive smoothly?

I've driven one for awhile back in the day, they tend to have a lot of body roll do to the single front shock and they bottom out with authority :x However, still a joy to drive and pull hard out of the corners like any other 4-wheeler :wink:
Old school racing all the way!

If you have access to a scanner, a scan of them would be great.
Yeah, I think so too but my scanner is out of order now.. :( (I will never buy hp product)
Sorry.

Just repair when it would be broken. :wink:
But needs parts stock.

I guess that is stock Yokomo. The modified Yokomo like Wonder Dog Fighter is much better than stock. :D
