A lot of people don't like but in my own opinion, they are good for the money. A good place to get parts (and the cars) is mainstreamrc.com. The owner of that site is my lhs owner and he carries a full stock of parts at good prices. Like I said, a lot of people don't like redcat, but everybody has their own opinions and bad luck stories for any truck so just keep that in mind. To get a rtr buggy out the door for under $200 is pretty good. Or to get a 4x4 gasser for under $600.
