I am guessing you haven't added an hop-ups to the car, and as you said it is easy enough to drive out of the box with a standard set-up. This is a going to be a great car for beginners as it is strong, reliable and easy to drive so they can start off with slow equipment and then as they get more confident with driving upgrade the equipment they use rather than having to add massive amount of hop-ups or be replacing massive amount of spares each week. Then when they are ready to move to the next step they can think about changing chassis.
Yes there are probably cheaper options out there to start off which come a with a throw away speedo and motor but I always feel that ultimatley you end up spending more getting the chassis up to speed rather on spending the money on getting the equipment up to scratch.
Just priced up a complete beginners racing package, with mi1, bodyshell, brushless, lipo, 2.4 system and charger for just over £400.00 which sounds a lot but in the grand scale of things these days is sod all compared to what the top people even at club level are running.
