RE: dependability question
i have all of their products along with everyone elses too, lol. the radio system is a typical rtr, not the best but they do have a 30 day warranty on electronics and seeing that you own a shop, not may companies will warranty a radio once out of the box and used. They are well worth the money, especially the 1/8th's.
Their electrics with the brushless systems are excellent, the 1/10 bugggy will wheelie with it.
