first off its big and i mean the biggest truck out there besides a fg. i only ran into a few problems with it, the throttle servo binding with the brakes and all the screws not loctite down especially the motor mounts, that would of made hamburger out of the metal gears if it came loose, and there is no reciever batt holder. besides that it seems to be pretty strong.this thing is bigger than the mgt and a little wider. when i am done fixing this thing i will break it in,if its like the other xtm28 i have it will be a breeze to break in.
