This is an amazing RC car I would recommend getting a 2s lipo if getting the brushed version because it is much better and can easily pop wheelies and take over the terrain

Service from Hobbies Direct was terrific. We received the package within a few days. Great car. Unfortunately the charger that ships with the product is difficult to use and doesn't charge the battery properly. We ended up getting a proper charger and it has made all the difference. Car performance is amazing for a beginner car.
