Have run one since September, great truck for the price.

Very heavy so you could need larger capacity Lipo's depending on what motor you choose as they sap power.

breakages wise i've broke the upper hinge pin bracket on front bulkhead (high speed hook up on track marker) so now have aluminium upgrade and have also broken a rear hub carrier.

They take a serious amount of abuse, we're always knocking each other about, far more violently than 'rubbing is racing'!

Recommend steering ballraces as plastic bushes make stock set up very tight.

Front bumpers can be a weak spot (just broke the original last week) but can be strengthened by drilling through mounts and using longer bolts to strengthen it up.

Apart from that... buy one and get racing, they are a great bit of kit.
