not really...I've owned one but they just don't have much parts support,hop-ups or durability..the car it's self doesn't handle poorly just doesn't do enough to overshadow the flaws which is mainly the durability and lack of parts support

Always had good luck with my Mantis, Just parts support sucked. LHS never had parts and only place else at the time to get parts was tower hobby and they were always backordered at the time. Maybe it is better now.
