Ahhh, a friend of mine here in Africa bought one since we have been out here. I have actually been impressed with it. He had never had an RC before so I did the break in for him. Engine broke in easy and was simple to tune. He ran it about two months and wanted more power even though the stock engine was fine so he bought an XTM 24.7 and a CNR head and threw that in there. Wheelies on demand and runs nice and cool. And since he is new, he does ball it up a lot, hard. It has yet to break a part. And fuel and replacement parts, no one can judge that but you because it all depends on how much you drive it and how well you take care of it.
