here's the ratings rc driver gave it:
Chassis: 9(strong with reliefs to let motor sit lower)
Drivetrain:9(strong smooth metal gears, brakes need a little adjustment after break in)
Steering:8.5(strong steering servo let down by week servo saver, newer kits getting stronger spring though)
Suspension:9.5(threaded shock bodies, all strong and beefy)
Body, wheels and tires:10(great graphics, dish rims and tires work well on most surfaces)
Durability:9.5(had big crashes, nothing broke)
Ease of use:10(they took it straight from the box without break in and it worked perfect, but dont try that at home)
hope that helps
