I would say no dont get it. I have the ss one right now and i like it but it doesn't run right most of the time. Ever since i got it i have been having trubble with the differentials stripping and the set screws letting go. I race too and i am not bad but i never got to finish a race this year at all because of the problems. I couldnt even finish a five minute race. Like foxy42 said it has awsome looks but it doesn't seem to hold up that well.
