I own a Mt1 (being converted to electric for fun), a MT2 (built from a MT1, never had a issue with it falling apart like others stated), a Savage X, a original HPI Nitro RS4, and a Brama 10b... (Yes I like HPI)
Only one I regret buying is my Brama 10b
Under powered, almost 0 gearing options, limited upgrades, plastic drive train, plastic bearings, scarce part availability, and Plastic ball cups.
The thing is so horrendously slow its not funny. Underpowered ESC claims 20turns rating but had issues handling a 20t motor (bought a XL5 esc and motor works fine). Also low replacement parts availability.

I agree with the 10B. A kid in the neighborhood has one and I spend a lot of time fixing it for him. Somebody had their head between their cheeks when they released that one.
