I have a Tsunami and all I hear is complaining about Redcat. I find this funny because I have only had one problem with mine, I bent a shock, but that was my own stupidity (driving too fast in a small area). I paid about half as much for my truck than one of those "high quality" trucks and mine keeps up with those no problem. Just yesterday I was out jumping it and was truely surprised to see that nothing had broke, I was expecting a trip to the hobby shop, but instead, I just kept on running. I give this truck a beating nearly everyday and never even slows down. I feel pretty good about the product that I bought and I also think that if cost is an issue or you are a beginer, take a look at Redcat.
