id say do it...newbie to rc and prolly woulda never got into the hobby if the redcat products werent so reasonable priced...I abuse my cane pretty hard and for the most part it takes it...havent broken a thing that wasnt caused by driver error..make sure you tell your custumers about the awsome product support they will recieve here...ehroof, clermont, and a whole bunch others wont lead them the wrong way...theres some real quality in the support all the people provide here
