Traxxas is the Wal-Mart of the RC community. Crap loads of cheap of american designed, chinese made RC products sold for a low price point with tons of marketing that excites and convinces everyone to buy their products that are at best, decent as a jack of all trades and good at none of them with substandard product quality.
lets be fair, they do go fast (ignore the fact that touching the steering wheel is either going to wreck it at speed or not have any function at all).
