i was a little bored so i took apart the gs430.. removed the cf defussers... i also had an escalade from a while back.. took that apart too.. the rims on the escalade were a little better and spun more evenly so i put them on the gs.. lowered the gs a little..

That is really cool- there is supposed to be an R/C version of the GS in Spectra Blue (well, Jada's equivalent to it) with HREs on it..

Yeah, Bob. I've been keping my eye out for it since you mentioned it last year,

No luck though.

I already have some of the other Jada cars but no R/C one. Hmmm....

Do the headlights and tailights work? It looks like the front inner lights are painted on

Just picked mine up from Target right now. I got the 1/10th scale. It comes with a 9.6 volt battery, and show lights. The wheels, the head lights, and rear lights light up. Sorry for the bad pic, I only have my camera phone here at work. Now I just have to wait 4 hours to charge the battery.

Oh yeah, this one was 50 dollars.
