So far it looks like the best way to go since its a honda s2000 and comes with everything. Also model airplanes are they hard to build? Does it come with instructions? well good instructions?

I drove electric for about 8 years and now I am into 4wd gas. I must say that while the electric is easier, the idea of being able to drive full speed for longer than 4 minutes is very nice.

The problem that I always had with electric is that the performance would slowly die. Now I know that there are a lot of batteries that run full and just die but they were always much more expensive.

Now that I am onto gas I enjoy it much more. Also made the investment in nice two-speed transmission which makes everything a little more cool.

There are a group of people that go to the Charlotte Coliseum on Sundays to drive. I have only been once or twice but there was always about 10 gas cars running WOT around the parking lot.

Heh,

I've got a Clodbuster and a Blackfoot lying around.

A gas powered S2000 sounds tempting . . .
