okie dokie..........
What brand is good?
How do they compare?
How can you make it faster?
Can you get bigger engines? What type?
Do you prefer the old "stick" remote or the "wheel" type?

s9am_me: I live in the Bay Area also. Who carries RC cars like the Z? Also I ran my first SCCA autocross in the Z two weekends ago. There were two other Zs. It was great fun and I'm hooked. The next autocross is at 3com this sunday and on Feb 23.

Its orginally an HPI RS4 3 Ready to Run ($289). I swapped out the engine and put in a better one. The stock was a .15 engine (about 0.5HP).. but i got a .12 engine (rated at 1HP+) for christmas. Bought me a racing clutch (lets you engage the clutch at a higher or lower RPM), bought new headers and exhaust pipe, bigger intake filter, and an FM radio. All the suspension and chassis parts are stock. BTW.. i think only Shumauker is only one that makes a .21 engine Touring car. Its a kit and is advertised to go 60MPH out the box. You're gonna need to buy a radio and some gas if your gonna get that. But i've heard good reviews about that car.. very very quick!
