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?

Hi Rusty thanks for your reply. I saw comments on the FTX Facebook page regarding the FTX Viper negative posts regarding build quality and overall strength of the buggy. I guess you cant please everyone! Anyway, the buggy is due to arrive tomorrow so excited to see how it goes.
