the dominus is a solid truck got mine the day they hit our store stock it sucks but once you slap a brushless set up in it its awsome i threw a traxxas velinum(or how ever you spell it ) and this thing handels great I have my own track at home and the dominus beat my slash 4X4 in a time trial by almost 24 seconds running the same motor and battery. there is just as much aluminum on this truck as there is plastic and i havent tried yet but it looks as if the rpm slash parts are gonna fit the dominus. and yes my local LHS has every part needed to rebuild this truck in stock. but hey thats just my 2 cents on it at 200.00 you cant go wrong grab one and try it out if even just for the chassie oh the stock esc is 2s lipo compatable but does not include LVC and the stock battery is a 7 cell 1800 so plan on scrapping the stock battery and changing over to a deans plug as stock its the junk tamiya.
