The total cost in time (breaking and replacing parts) have cost me probably around $1700. My car (though I haven't used it recently) can go 70mph with the correct gear.
If you want a real monster, they have 1/8th scales and get a whopping 3hp large-bore engine and a 3-speed transmission!

Just curious, have you verified the 80mph speed? With 44T 2nd gear, my car goes rougly 70-72mph via radar detector.

Hey guys....
Just got back in the hobby. In fact, Simon and I got Ben one for X-mas:
compared to the real thing:
This is a 1/18 HPI.
We are now a dealer for all HPI and many accessories, we will be adding to the website here at the soon to be announced MBWorld store and on evosport.
Here are some of our race car:
And the real thing:
Here are the two together:
Just started to mod the M3 with CF and alum suspension. Big motors and batteries are next!
Thanks
Brad

However, I think you will see a C32 1/10th evosport car soon!
At the new facility, we are thinking about having a small track where customers can mess with them while waiting!
