I saw them at Billing LR Show, and when I enquired I was told that they could not sell it to me as it was not type approved yet Shocked

Yeah I have one

But I then bought one of these



The D3 is ok for young kids, but it doesn't go off road, but is quite fast for a child

You can use the gear off the Torag to build one like this



I have most the bits but not sure I have the skill!

Hmm realistic? The Tamiya XC chassis to me are the best, realistic and pretty fast. IMO the ready made cars are not worth it, they break too easily, whereas the kits are easily mended. DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

Harrison,
IMHO...
I'd strongly recommend trying before you buy. I'm really disappointed with the quality. Typical Chinese brittle plastics, and very poor turning circle. Performance seriously stunted by colossal weight of the model.

You're welcome to buy mine, only used for about 1/2hr ... but I wouldn't recommend it. Long succession of Disco's since 2001...
