Good job spelling :p As he said a Radioshack Car doesn't usually have any off the shelf upgrades, and you'll have to mod it yourself. I wouldn't recommend going this route. A real RC Car starts at about $150 Ready To Run (you still need a battery and charger). I'd recommend a Traxxas Stampede (with ESC), they're cheap, and durable.

hey, I happen to have the ford with the matt-tracks and its a fun truck. For 100$ you get a truck that is of high quality for a toy. I took it apart and it is possible to change out electronics. The only problem is the servo. It is very slow and not fun to drive with the tracks, the truck also overheats. With the tires it is fun in the snow and ice; havent tried it out in the dirt yet. If ya got any questions...just ask me ;)
