Kyokai is right about the GS Storm not having a 2 speed or reverse.

I have a different opinion of the car's durablility based on my personal experiences. I've been racing 1/8 scales for about 10 years now. Currently I have 3 kyoshos and 2 GS Storm Pros. I've found them just as durable. Over the course of an entire race season, I only managed to shear 2 bolts that hold the right front suspension to the chassis.
