Nah, This one is sweet for [link=http://cgi.ebay.ca/Himoto-Cobra-Mini-RZ1-nitro-1-16-4wd-truck_W0QQitemZ300116428450QQihZ020QQcategoryZ1916 8QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem]$155.[/link] I bought one and was blown away at the build quality. The thing has tons of alloy on it, super solid suspension and drives like a dream. I sold it though as I realized mini Nitros aren;t for me. I'd rather have reverse, less noise, less mess and not have to worry about refueling every 5 minutes. I really recomened it though for anyone looking to get a 1/16th 4wd nitro monster.

RE: Want to get into Nitro Minis for cheap?
All the parts were listed in a manual with numbers and everything like a normal hobby RC with a website you could order replacements and a few hop ups from. I a really hard time starting the thing though, mind you I had no experience with Nitros before so that was probably the issue. It was a [retty sweet truck and damn was it beefy.
That is a great price on the Chaos, but my money would still be on the Himoto, even though I sold mine. If I go Nitro again though it will be 1/8th hopefully with an electric start

RE: Want to get into Nitro Minis for cheap?
I had one about 3 months ago. They may have stepped up quality since then, but I still wouldn't buy it[&o] I didn't like mine because:
Stock engine leaked (I needed to completely reassemble it to get it to run, and then seal it)
Not very high quality suspention parts
Suspention binds
Spur gear melts
and a whole other bunch of crap... [X(]
