No, not at all... I wouldn't say a car is bad just because it's handling is so bad it can't be raced...

its a combination of that, there redicliously over the top pricing. Oh and let's not forget the very limiting battery compartment

the simple fact is there is better cars out there that are cheaper and last longer...

its up to u really... If u want to wast over $500 on something that's brushed or $800 for brushless version... Go for it.
Personally I would want a lot more for that kind of money
