I actually went with two of my friends w/in a month ago and they both bought it. So far, it is a wonderful truck. The .18 has great power and delivers a very nice mid-range hit. It will run about 35-40 MPH also. It handles well, has great power delivery, and actually doesn't look THAT bad for an RTR, and has a battery and brain cover also. In my opinion, if I was buying a RTR GT (i bought one) or a RTR Evader, I would get the Evader. Now if I were getting the RTR GT Plus, I think I'd buy 5 of each if I was buying 10 trucks. Only thing is the GT might be a tad more durabule because it has proven itself over the years. Just my .02
