I have a RC4WD bully2 that I've spent about $900 on and the E10 is essentially as good overall. Some things the bully excels at while other times the Everest is the winner. Key to making this great was to replace the tires with soft compound ones, convert to 4WS which is really really cheap and easy, 3s battery from my mini 8ight buggy, softest mini-T rear springs all around to significantly lower the center of gravity and 35t motor. Overall for under $250, because i had a spare radio, servo and 3s batteries already, this thing is terribly impressive. Just replaced the wheels and shocks with shiny aluminum ones because this is my GF 's and that's what she liked, and both of us love driving it several nights a week. Nothing has broken except a couple of wheel hex pins so far. I removed the steering stops on both axles and that's about all it can accept for steering modifications before the wheels turn so much that the dog bones want to pop out. I'm glad i didn't modify it further because it turns great with just that 60 second steering modification. Great crawler and best investment I've made in a long time. I wish my expensive RC4WD was as durable as this thing! Oh, and it pops wheels with 3s lipo and 35t RC4WD brushed motors! I would 100% but this again and i can't say that about many purchases in my life. Very happy with the product, the parts prices and availability from Redcat racing online store.If I were to buy another one I would immediately do the exact same modifications but forgo replacing the stock shocks with aftermarket because the stock ones are pretty decent, the only problem with them is the spring rate is about two and a half times higher than what it should be. I even really liked the radio it came with, just couldn't handle 4WS, which was a bummer.
