The truck is solid, quick and a blast to bash around. It handles the skate park near me with ease and screams in the dirt.
Get the aluminum shock caps immediately, the plastic ones leak and crack. The high CG chassis this comes with is best if you're bashing around in dirt or grass but tends by nature to cause rollover if you're on pavement. Upgrade knuckles and drive arms if you're going to put more power in it, and regardless get a fan for the motor and esc to prevent thermal shutdown if you drive like a drunken idiot (like me). Radio problems aside this is a seriously fun wheeler for the price.
Plan on doing the Stage 3 upgrades because running it hard and fast, whether at the track or off-road, things WILL break. A LOT. I didn't get a full battery cycle out of it before the shock cap broke off and spilt oil everywhere.
I did the Stage 3 upgrades and it rips now and is much tougher. I recommend this immediately because as we all know, RCs break all the time! This isn't an exception. Of you want something tougher out of the box, GET THE SLASH ULTIMATE EDITION.
As for this rig, I love the Fox Edition body and most of the components are great.
Recommended upgrades:
-LCG Chassis
-Titanium turnbuckles
-TRX hubs, casters, etc
-GTX Suspension (w/ TLR oil-45wgt in the front and 40wgt in the rear)
-A arms/suspension arms
Otherwise, this thing is rad and easily upgradable, just gets expensive. As for amainhobbies.com, there's no other company I do more business with unless they don't have a product I want (can get). Amain's customer service is THE BEST, and not many companies boast this type of service anymore. They are so helpful and ALWAYS available!!!
The best of the best when it comes to traxxas 1/10 scale lineup!
Fast, light weight, stable, powerful and fun. Needs only a single 2S or 3S battery.
It has tons of upgrades and parts availability. You can even make it a super start ultra speed buggy with a conversion.
Love it for years.
