i won't judge for price being cheap, i judge for the manufacture having a bad rep, a place they sell rc cars but they don't even have parts for its own cars. nor they help u, or point u to a place to where u can get a hold of the parts.. now thats sucks..
thats why i only buy HPI, cuz all local hobbies shop around my area carries HPI parts, so if i break something i got like 4 shops within 10 miles
