I have one and love it. I would have bought the kit version but got a killer deal on mine off ebay. I had heard a lot of horror stories about the stock motor, so I immediatly swapped it out for a novarossi setup, and switched out the servos. I also put a different radio system in it, not because I didnt like the stock one, but I already use the Airtronics MX-3FHSS system in my truggy and wanted to be able to use the same radio for both cars.
