Anyway, back to bashing sammy's oldie!
RC10L's HA! 2wd! HA!!! today nearly everything is 4WD and the motors are brushless. You pop a brushless in there and even with the same old a$$ Sanyo SCR's you'll go twice as fast (and probably have little to no control to boot!).

LOL I know, but believe it or not there are people here that actually like long hood 911s too. Comparing my son's car to Jeff's is like comparing a 69 911S to a new 997. Apples and oranges but both cool.
No RC snobs allowed.
I raced an RC12 on carpet back in the early 80's and did pretty well. I was telling my 10 year old son about it and decided to get a similar car for him, hense the RC10L from e-bay.
I have about $80 tied up in it and he has a ball with the car. I have some used capped tires on it now and did some suspension work so it actually handles pretty well.
With a little driver skill it goes very fast, unlike some of the more modern cushy RC cars that drive like sofas (sound familiar?
) j/k
I could spend $500 or so on a brushless 4wd car with all the bells and whistles or even more than that for a nitro car, but my son has a ball with his $80 car and it's almost as fast as the others at 5 times the cost. I like that. After all is said and done, it's still a toy for pete's sake.
