But...the engineers let us down on this truck in regard to the battery trays. Due to the chassis braces you are very limited as to which batteries you can use. If you have several 3S and 4S packs and your thinking your all set...think again. Most big "bashing" packs will not fit. As expensive as batteries have become over the last 3 years; having to buy new ones could be a deal breaker for some folks. Other than the battery trays and the lack of a wheelie bar the truck is FANTASTIC.
I have ran the truck 6 times with no breakage and enjoyed every second of every pack.
