Wanted to add something retro to my fleet to play around with, very cool and unique. It’s plenty fast enough when paired with a tamiya BZ motor, would recommend

Tamiya Hotshot II "Blockhead Motors" 1/10 4WD Off-Road Buggy Kit
It was my first RC kit, and I had a blast putting it together. Ended up giving it to my pops for Father's Day, and he loves it! I'll definitely be upgrading it with a brushless motor and some street tires (mostly driving on pavement). I'd highly recommend a light kit for the light buckets on this (I had to place the module where the driver would be); it adds a whole other layer of cool. I'd definitely recommend this for someone new to the hobby, like me!

Also, make sure to accurately measure the servo arms setup; I didn't do this the first time around and just compared the length to the manual, and it didn't work out all too well. A digital caliper comes in very handy with this!
