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.

The build process is pretty simple since it comes with a step by step guide. Only problem I had was greasing up the parts. I didn't know how much grease to apply so I think i ended up applying a lot lol Mohammed: Nope no spair
