the body does not fit properly[], the shock towers are paper thin []and engine is very weak, vertex 21[]. with some porting it will be good but mine only lasted about 2 gallons before the piston rod slid out of place and scored the sleeve, ruined[]. for the price it will be fun for about 1 gallon then the problems will start to creep in and parts will start to get ordered and who knows how long before they get there. i would check with your local hobby shop what cars they carry or if they are selling a slightly used car (hopefully a losi 8b or 8t for you) for cheep. i have had a couple chinese knock off buggies and after going to hobao i now see how brittle they are/were. i literally would drive it for 3 minutes and something would break that i had to replace and wait a week to get. fix it and ext time out it would break something else 1/2 way through a tank. i was very new to cars so i experimented a lot too.

theres too many answers for that one, i would ask a girl first though! ha!
