the way it comes outta the box is fantastic for light bashing or light track duty....but before you race you'll wanna upgrade atleast the steering servo and rx pack....and once the roto start craps out...a starter box...

don't be to quick to diss losi on their rtr (no i'm not a lousy fan AT ALL) but they've got an awesome rtr deal....

don't forget, if you think that the radio and equipment isn't part of the handling and performance of your buggy of choice, take out the servos, reciever, and set your radio in it's box and run your buggy...it all plays a VERY important role...without all that stuff, we'd all just have noisy toys we have no control over....
