i'll second Ed's motion,
Every company has to have a target market, and in this case Duratrax is targeting low-budget, and entry level RC drivers looking to get into the hobby without spending 500$ I will say that I am a semi-entry level to intermediate driver and just love my Duratrax Delphi. just like every other vehicle, it can use several improvements, but hey, if the vehicle didn't need any tuning and hop-ups where would the fun be?
