The only difference is that I got the body not painted, no stickers on it and not cut, so I had to cut the body, paint it and put the stickers on. Now I am gonna get new batteries and see if they last longer, if they don't I am gonna see if I can switch the car to fuel Motor instead. It took me 5 hours to built my ford focus also.
