depends how much you can buy it for... don't bump it down to a 12... sheesh... keep the 15.. it's a nice engine.. unless it's not the SS version.. give us a price.. and we'll tell you if it's worth it or not

Depends on what type of racing you're gonna do. IMO I would change the engine and some suspension parts before considering racing. But for $60, I'd pick it up just for the deal! Even used, the car is worth more than twice that.

Its a acceptable entry level car for a entry level racer. If you want to be competitive above the novice class you are going to need a different car.
Mugen MTX-3, HPI R40 are the hot cars, you cant go wrong with one of these. You will be competitve with these cars as long as you know how to set one up and how to drive.
