I would suggest the HPI nitro racer 1/10 scale gas touring car and use the HPI C5 body.
I have that model and it flies :yesnod:

I have the HPI also but it came with the Saleen body. Gotta get the C5 body for it.

I would love to have the HPI. I saw it at one of the hobby shops a while back but it has since found a home. That is just what I need another toy setting around in the way.

I can`t wait to get one.
