I have a Carrera one that I started but never finished. BNova guide adapter is already in it. It's still in pieces on my workbench.

Or, to put it another way - keep 90% of the bare chassis, keep 80% of the body - through away everything else, and add well over $100- worth of replacement parts....

Whatever floats yer boat, I guess....

As the saying goes - "Speed costs money - how fast do you want to spend?"

Impressive effort though!

99%chassis, 99%/body, 90%/interior.
Car cost, $30
Parts cost, approx. $70
Well worth it in my opinion for a great looking, great running car!
