I love this rc car!!! I've always wanted one and now I finally have one. I ordered 2 for my son and stepson and after reading the reviews I decided to run them a couple times to make sure they didn't break. I played with them my wife told me to keep one and she wanted one too. Now I've ordered 4 in total and none have had any troubles so far. After many tumbles and crashes all I've had to do is pop the tie rods back on a couple times and buy one screw and one shock spring holder thingie. Ordered the tenergy charger that shows up when you look at these. Well worth it. With the charger I'm back up and running in about an hour. Keep in mind that these are not toy grade and they will break and you can fix them. These are going to be Christmas presents and I'm using them to teach 2 12 year old boys to keep good care of things and how to work on things. I still can't believe how fast they are and that there are such a thing as a hobby grade rc for 130 bucks. Thank you redcat! I've ordered 6 redcats in total (4 blackouts and 2 volcanos for my 8 year old daughter and stepdaughter because they aren't as fast) and I'm going to get an Everest 10 for the 5 year old stepson. going to stay with redcat. They seem to be great quality and amazing price.
