Nice buggy for the price.
First of all, this is NOT a RTR (ready to run) kit. It comes 100% assembled but you have to take it completely apart before running it for the first time. The gear mesh on mine came VERY tight. It would smash the gears in seconds after the first run. I also had to adjust the front diff and other minor things (dogbones, servo trims, etc).
The Tornado S30 is a really nice buggy for beginners IF you know how to take care and maintain it.
The engine is an SH .18 and you can easily find every part you need here on Ebay. They are pretty cheap too.
For those who dont know, the Tornado S30 is an upgraded version of the Backwash (model 94166) from HSP. All parts are interchangeable.
Im running mine on 20% nitro, wich gives a top speed of around 45MPH. You can increase it to about 55MPH if you use the smaller main gears from the on road car (parts number 02040 and 02041). It fits perfectly but will give it a slower acceleration.
Im also using the shocks from a Jato 3.3. They are way better then the stock ones and fits perfectly, not to mention they look awesome on the Tornado S30.
For the price this is a really good buggy. Take good care of it and it will last a long time. Good speed and nice handling.
Im only giving it a 4 star rating because its not actually a RTR kit as the manufacturer claims.

Almost as good as the original.
Not as strong as the original (AVC) but it does the job. Temperatures are around 7C higher with this one.
