Well, it definitely wasn't made with a U.S.-spec car to start with; so, I wouldn't expect a color that is found in the USA....

I would guess...not as well as the stock MC does. I mean think about it. If the morots are in the wheels, that must be like walking with lead wights on your ankles.

on whether the morots are in the wheels or whether the motors are on the corners (but not in the wheels). Keep in mind that morots are heavier than motors (especially if the motors are mounted to the chassis).
