Run it in a car park I reckon.
I dont think it would be fit for racing.
Buy yourself a decent 1/10 scale leccie car and come and race with us

100 metre range radio?
A model RC race car does 100M in a couple of seconds.
Sounds like this radio would not be capable of controlling a fast car due to lack of range.

The lead acid battery provides confirmation. Modellers with speed or power in mind moved out of this battery technology about 10 years ago.

This is a toy car ... a big one ... but still a toy.

The power to weight ratio of our models is about 15 to 20 times higher.

thanks for the advice lads,im getting it cheapish but not for racing too big i think,have always been intrested in RC cars never got to do anything with it so am taking a start, this is only a start off point but i am changing the batt and radio controls but when i get a decent 1:10 ill race with u,where are good places to shop on line or retailers?

You could try the sticky thread "General Guide" in this forum for a start.
