Well built truck but does need some upgrades or keep some spares handy. Would not recommend for a basher but does okay. Definitely a track worthy truck, very light weight and well balanced. Hobao has parts in stock and you can still find some aftermarket parts in circulation but don't think they are still being produced.
As a hole the truck is nice but some of the plastic parts that come with it are cheaply built like the shock ends one of mine split just screwing it onto the shock for the first time and the holes in the body were not lined up just right but can still get it on other then that I like the truck o ya it says the body is painted it's not so plan on painting I kind of liked that though mine came out real nice for the price I would buy it again.
This is a great short course RC. Hobao is solid with the same quality as Offna had once offered.
I like Traxxas but this car is just put together so much better. I can now purchase The Hyper MT
with out guessing if it is going to hold up to the abuse.
