There's a huge discussion going on about it on the "mini" section of this forum,
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10681583/tm.htm
but since it's so new it's really hard to have an opinion either way.

To me I see three potential issues: 1) it's a monster truck, and monster trucks seem to have a buzz of popularity upon their release and then die off quickly, 2) literally any mini struggles getting around very well outdoors, so even grass is considered an obsticle and hinder them running, 3) hpi doesn't have the best track record of keeping vehicles on the market for long, so getting replacement parts could become an issue and few hobby shops carry their line.


As someone mentioned earlier, I think it really comes down to your interest, plans, and your planned use. If you're wanting to run primarily in the street in front of your house, or if you plan on going to the local track and race, or maybe you're wanting to zip around in the basement, you're talking about entirely different product choices, Some guys like cars, others are into trucks and mud, so again it really depends and should have something to do with your considerations.<br type="_moz" />
