    Awesome car takes a bashing really well without breaking. The only problem was dust getting in the starter making it stop working so use a dust cover. Customer service was great and shipping was fast and on time. Would recommend very reliable and fun though it is quite loud.

    Runs really well. I had an issue with the pull start, but that was just due to dirt — I’d recommend getting a pull‑start cover.
