This is the OFNA 1/10th scale gas touring car with full time 4 wheel drive configuration. It comes with turnbuckles, aluminum shock absorbers, two speed transmission, and double deck aluminum chassis. You will need to supply the engine, tuned pipe, radio controller, glow plug igniter and fuel. 

This car was bought around 1997. It originally came with a BMW M3 body, but now has a Mercedes Benz body from Serpent. 

The most notable quality of the car was the very smooth shaft / gear drive train and two-speed transmission, allowing for very high top speeds. The only downside was that it was easy to strip the plastic bevel gears in the front and rear gearbox, so they have been replaced with the optional metal gears. No more problems with the transmission.

The tires that came with the kit is good enough, and after putting in more than 50 runs, they are still almost as good a new. 

This car is more of a play car than a true racing car, primarily because the suspension arms are two flexible lending to slightly sluggish cornering capabilities. The size is also slightly bigger than the 1/10th touring cars. It is similar to the size of the Kyosho Super Ten cars.

Overall this is a very fun car. It does give a lot of value for your money.
