great car for beginners! some parts will break and pop out (just like $1000-$2000 RC cars) when you bash it around but you get more than what you pay for. considering it includes a lipo battery and every thing you need to get it going it is unbelievable for the price.
it is easily repaired and Hobbies Direct are stocked up with all the parts you need to repair your RC. all of the standard parts for this are very cheap in price so in buying this truck i would suggest you also order some spare parts as well that may include spur gears, dog-bones, body pins ect. its easy to fix your car yourself.
There are plenty of optional and after market parts for this truck for you to upgrade. i have the MT-MCROSS 2.8'' Tires- TRAXXAS Bead SPORT/BLACK offset Rim and they are great! you can upgrade a lot of things to make it perform better. please try Hobbies directs range of LiPo batteries!! they work amazing in this car (and others) and also the value for money is fantastic.

Broke very easily after a few days. Had to send it BACK to the store to be repaired. After it was returned, after a 5 minute spin, the tires came off due to the glue. Sufficient glue wasn't used.

However. The customer service I received was incredible. Angus in particular made sure the repair was done promptly, and tried to troubleshoot every possible cause of the fault before I sent it back.

Will definitely buy from them again.
