YOU AIN'T driven fast ha ha . you should try brushless i think it will open your eyes .lol..

i understand brushless not for the younger ones and it can be expensive depending on what system you choose , i for the most use hobbywing i find there prices very reasonable   ,   hobby parts.com in the usa are amongest the best suppliers ......   http://www.hobbypartz.com/

So my 4x4 bandit has a remote, and is fully operational, but now my problem is when it turns the wheels rub the body!!! I can't win, haha I fixed the back shocks, made battery doors, got a remote, and now this!!! I guess I need longer screws and washers to raise it up.  But good news along with that remote came another one which made my half traxx fully functional!!! Which I think is probably as fast as the fast traxx.

ok guys small update , not had much time to work on my r/c projects as my wife has decided  she wants me to remodel our home  .. any how i have had to make a small shelf to accomadate the hobby electronics  at the rear of the car the bonus is this ads a little strength as this is part of the rear shock mounting sub frame .. the esc speed controller sits nice on top of this shelf  you will also see a yellowish substance in side the bottom of the chassie this is fibreglass filler i had to use this not only to give strength but to fill in the small holes left buy the batt tray door .. looks a bit rough at the moment but once all sanded down and painted no one will be the wiser lol.. still need to mount the servo and antenna also body posts update soon thanks guys   ....  pics >>>

I checked out that video and looked up the FTX Fury 9.6v - it looks like it would be a pretty cool car right out of the box.
