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

The rustler is a fun little machine, very tough I've had it for about 4 years and still in good condition. parts are very easy to get since their is a lot of optional part available

Verified buyerService 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.
