I know this is a resurrection of a long dormant post but I have just acquired one of these kits and have been looking for pictures and info about it.

Strangely the search didn't bring it up first time :shock:

Alan, how well does the battery pack last? I am going to use an essel chassis under mine as the cost of wheels and motor etc out weighs the cost of a complete chassis and there doesn't look like a lot of room for the batteries in the Jessica body once every thing else goes in.
If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!

The radio control car battery was a tight fit I had to cut the bottom of the cab front to fit it in. As for how long it runs for I can only say I have not had it run down to a stop yet seems to run all the time I use it with out problems.
