Welcome.

That FTX Viper, I have never seen before. Some of the FTXs look like an Arrma copy? Probably 'cause sold in another country (UK). First off, every RC car breaks. Some are made better than others. Plastics used to mold parts are different from one manufacturer to another. The Viper looks promising. But just looking at the pictures and reading about it is one thing. I always tell people, research anything before you buy nowadays and read some reviews. Make sure the vehicle you are thinking about purchasing has great parts support for it. I haven't taken a look at any videos of the Viper in action yet, but I know people like to put RCs in high demanding situations that eventually put a vehicle on the "disabled list" and enter the work bench for repairs.

What did you see that is giving you second thoughts?
