Got a red one on the weekend.
It is not as fast as my son in law's Mustang one or the grandson's Camaro one but looks cooler, takes the corners better and is just more fun to play with....WAIT where have I heard that before?????

I bought both the FR-S and Supra at the Target by my house and they were the only two on the shelf. First thing that I did was take apart the FR-S and plastidip the body white. I just have to touch up a couple edges and paint the wheel spokes a couple shades of a lighter grey than what they already are.

And get rid of that Spoiler! First "mod" I did on mine. Never thought of plastidip just used some dodge orange spray touch up that is close to Hot Lava. Now it is a Mini Me!

I will eventually when I get some bondo or something else to seal the holes. Heck, I'd like to find a better way for the antenna than the foot long flimsy wire it comes with too.

That would work if the length of the wire wasn't an issue. Shortening it or tucking the wire into the body greatly effects the range of the receiver.

I know was just jokes! Taped mine up inside. Reduced range by about 10 feet but it is a toy not a hobby level remote after all.
