i would not get the axis and im sure there are alot of people here that will tell you the same. there are so many cars kits out there and almost all them are better than the axis. if your looking for a good fast and durable car i would go with ofna. i dont much about the ofna so ill let everyone else give you suggestions there. i run a kyosho 7.5 its great. you can get a rtr ofna for not much more than the axis. dont buy the axis though.good luck and have fun.
