Purchased this as the first quality RC for my son because I knew He’d be able to learn to run and maintain it with no trouble getting parts. Great unit that is fast and maneuverable.
In juts a few days he’s learned about grip, the need for fine control of speed and tire wear (no the tires don’t wear too fast).
It is clear that this has all of the Traxxas…
