You will have fun with it for a while, but... its kinda slow and hanles poorly,also it doesn't look very good with all its plastic suspension links and crappy plastic shocks, I think the only thing a clodbuster is good for is a donor for a rockcrawling project, the axles are awesome, and there are an unlimited amount of aftermarket parts, if you want to buy a clod just for playing around with I would suggest getting a txt instead, its alot better out of the box and crawls pretty good to, thats just my 2 cents,
