for someone starting out in the hobby of RC I would highly recommend this car; its known on the web as " the fastest rc under $100" and yes it lives up to its name!!! this rc goes up to about 32mph and has good control at high speeds; the parts are EASLY found online if you ever break or want to upgrade and it RC can take a beating! I would suggest not running it into things at full speed and this is NOT a toy; if you have young kids I suggest you monitor them with it to see if they can control it.
It's pretty sweet other than it's kinda hard to trim the steering with those janky plastic parts and the wheels have terrible balance. Also the shield for the gear mesh isn't all that great I tent to get lots of rock stuck up in my gears. It ruined both gears so I had to order metal gears. But other than that, it's a great little quick car.
