Well I've got the Phoenix bx2 and I think it's ace as for performance it's as good as any car there but it just needs a decent driver
lol. Only thing I found was the kit provided in mine was fairly basic but ok. Started with the hop up parts such as ezwing brushless motor and esc, new savox servo, trailed lipos and next on my list as far better than cells you just have to keep an eye out on eBay. There around £20-£30 each for a fairly good one from hong kong. Also the Phoenix is a copy of the old rc10 team associated buggy and all the parts fit perfectly so it ain't to bad for spares. I was lucky enough to of bought a whole buggy(rc10 b2) for £20.
Overall I'd recommend this buggy and only thing I'd change is the shocks but team associated ones fit straight on no problem.
