I just bought the 1/10 scale Volcanoe SV Pro. I think all of the alluminum upgrades were a mistake and all I did was move the breaking points around to more troublesome spots. However, I am really satisfied with my Redcat and would recommend them to anyone wanting a tough, durable R/C at a reasonable price. It''s hard to get parts for at a local hobbie shop, if not impossible, but they are an Arizona based company and I have found that they are great to deal with over the internet, and parts are readily available through Redcat Racing @ redcatracing.com.[sm=thumbs_up.gif]
