Well i have a traxxas revo and a infinity. There is no comparison between the two. The revo has about 10 times the suspension travel, twice as fast, and is more durable. But as for the infinity for the price and for just getting into the hobby they are great deals. I got the infinity for my step son and its been a good truck. Weve had it since christmas and its been through snow and off road alot. Only broke a few spindles and shocks so far. But its been abused alot and has just had a tough life. lol. As with any R/C half the fun is getting new and better parts for them. There is a large base of aftermarket parts that fit it. So over all i think its a good truck to start out with. Just my two cents.
