This is an awesome little rc car, the brushless motor has really good power and speed to it and with the 2 included 3S batteries this rc car is pretty fast, the car is pretty much ready to drive right out of the box with not setup other than charging the batteries, the battery life is about average for this type of rc car, the car has a C-Diff drive and a carbon fiber CVD so it can definitely handle some torque, the gears are all metal and they grip well with no full throttle slipping, the chassis is nylon but it also has an aluminum alloy armor plate, so the chassis does feel pretty strong and durable, the shocks are oil filled and they are adjustable, for being stock shocks they actually handle rough terrain really well, the tires on this car are fairly wide, so the car doesn't make sharp turns very well, but the tires do have good grip to them, one feature I really like is that they put a fan cooled 50A ESC with ESP, the 50A ESC definitely helps keep the power transfer more stable and having the added ESP does help keep this little car straight at full speed, I also like that this rc car has room for upgrades, all in all I am very happy with the overall quality and performance of this RC car.
