well, i guess its worth getting for under $200.. besides the dirt cheap price the car is a p.o.s. very low quality parts, low quality everything... save your money..... i think the Kyosho RTR is on sale too...

Hi,
I think the Street Force is an excellent car for several reasons: It is reliable and durable--starts easily, idles without problem, and is very quick, especially when shifting into 2nd gear. The top speed probably is around 50mph although I haven't actually clocked it. It handles well, has good brakes, and it is easy to obtain spare parts. For me the car is great---I drive mine on an empty parking lot, and it is provides loads of fun and high speed action. So far it hasn't failed in anyway, and it handles so well it hasn't gotten out of control or crashed. I set the braking up so it won't lock up and skid and it still stops well. Then there's the price--how can you go wrong? The purple anodized parts look nice too.
For serious racing it may not be competitive, but since I am not into the racing scene, this is just a guess. It is definitely a high-value, high fun, low cost car. I think most people would find it a good value too.

You can pretty much put any body on an chassis, as long as it isnt a RTR body thats been cut and painted.
