nice vid were can i get 1 of those from and how much do they cost

[steampics]

Mine was off the internet.However there are certain toy shops that you can get them from but in all truthfulness off the internet is cheaper!:D.Mine was something like £135 but the quality is very good.Any more q's,just ask!:)

I enjoyed that, Thanks for sharing, I have one just like it, have you tried putting rubber bands on the wheel rims it helps a lot with traction and general stability, thanks again,

Ps check out some of my engine vids
