Itīs my first 1:10 4wd offroad (except for a nearly not used Avante) but I must say itīs a very good and durable car. I have mainly raced it indoors and so far only broken the front shocktower holder and some front and rear arms. (also the plastic cap on top of the front shocks)
Stack up with those parts and just race! if you use a one-way in the front some extra bevel-gears might be a good investment aswell.
Canīt compare how it runs since I havent really driven any other cars but I like the feeling of it, and at my skill-level the car isnīt responsible for fast or slow laptimes.
Itīs also a good thing its shaft-driven and you can use stickpacks. Less maintenence and you have lots of good li-pos to choose from.
