I had one but sold it about a year ago. They can be a lot of fun but can cost some money to keep them going. Parts aren't cheap and you WILL be needing parts, lol. The guys in Saudi (you know the ones getting rich off us paying $4/gal for gas) have some trick hill racers. Check out how fast some of these things are.
