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.

Its taken a serious amount of abuse really so would highly recommend.
The only upgrade i want is the Outerwearz underbody waterproof bag/cover for racing outdoors, to keep the electrics dry and clean when its damp etc but don't know if anyone in uk stocks them yet? I use HPI Blitz wheels as they have a better offset for stability, apart from set up the car is pretty much kit standard. Noticed that the RTR ones don't have threaded alloy shocks and come with softer blue springs fitted, something to keep an eye on. There are a few in my local club, will let you know if one comes up for sale in near future... some of the racers change their cars more than they change their underpants!

It looks like a cheaper version, might be worth a go though.
This is the one i found: http://www.outerwearsracing.com/prod...sp?prod=202641 looks more breathable, by the fact you can see through it! Definitely need air flow over speedo and motor as they got very warm when i made an improvised underbody from a plastic bag and gaffa tape at the last round of our winter outdoor series!
