This is JQ Products "THE Car" Yellow Edition 1/8 Scale Competition PRO Buggy Kit. THECar is now about 1 and a half years old, and it is time for a serious update. During the first year, JQ updated a variety of parts, including the plastics and the hingepins. All these changes were made to address durability issues and JQ acted fast improving the weaknesses. The next step, was to focus on improving the handling. During the end of last year JQ tested a variety of ideas and concepts, and were able to improve the handling to the point that an updated version was justified. Now they bring us the Yellow Edition! From this point forward, every JQ car will be accompanied with a color designation as a way to differentiate between different variations of the vehicle. THECar will always be THECar, and in true JQ fashion this unique nomenclature is what will be used to identify the different models in the JQ line.

As the latest edition to the JQ line, the Yellow Edition is an improvement from their original kit. The new buggy has almost zero durability issues and the new parts make the car drive a lot better. This car is a great addition to any racers fleet of vehicles.

Had the Y.E for over 6 months now & I'm glad I got this buggy, I have not broken 1 single part & the only thing that did happen recently was a bent rear centre drive shaft, but that was after a big jump, front flip & landing hard on flat hard packed track & multiple other high speed crashes off jumps, I'm amazed nothing actually broke but then again this buggy is pretty tough, other cars on the same track that day did break parts.
When set up properly it goes well, handles well, turns well & jumps well, I'm more than happy with it & the help & advice from those at JQ Products is second to none, best customer service in the industry. It will take a fair bit for me to change to another brand.
Soon I plan to upgrade to the wide chassis, updated steering ackerman & new radio tray as they are meant to make the car handle even better.

Drove this car for several months now and I am switching to another brand. There are a few weak points on the car that will drive you nuts.
