Lets not use chat speek. It is to hard for others to read.

I have not owned a Smatech - but know someone who imports them into the UK. If you can get parts regularly I think it would be ok. Problem is most RC stores don't have any parts. If more RC stores / hobby shops carried parts, it be a more popular car. Traxxas breaks very easy. But since you can easily get parts for their stuff, it is a good buy.

Just My Opinion.
