no I did not have the le. I had the 3`rd generation genesis. both me and my friend had one each, and they were both equally bad. bad radio, leaky shocks,broken drivetrain,bad engine,weak pullstarter,no where close to doing 50 miles as adverticed,3`rd gear would not engage. all in all it was the worst toy I have ever had, rc or not.It was lying in parts most of the time on my workbench during the year I had it. no fun at all.I wonder how many generations or editions cen has to make before it finally is of the same quality as other brands. the first one even had spur gears of plastic not even their hardened metal gears lasted on our cars, brittle as crystal.maybe the le is good, maybe not. the radio is ok thats for sure,the car? I don`t know. why take the chanse. get a fg monster instead.
