Thank you lord. I was thinkin about gettin one of those, but saw all of the stuff I would have to upgrade to run rally at the track. I could have used the shaft for a baseball bat. A 40oz bat for that matter.

The TB02 with an Impreza body is slated for a December release, but I don't know if it will be a full-on rally model or just a rally body. The chassis doesn't look as suited to rallying as the TB01.

no its not.

i didnt know anything about the 02 and the 01 was a tried and true car. So i just decided to get the older version for now. Once i have a charger and ESC i should be ok for more cars in the future
