i have the truck with a 2.5 in it now... running like crap. i got it from a friend who owed me some cash (got it for 150 bucks) and ive spent alot of time and money bashing it at the local skate parks. all the kids seem to enjoy watching the thing shoot 20 feet of the ramps, so im just planning on replacing the motor. as far as i know its a simple swap. i should be getting it any day now so im exited to see how well i do with it

I have gotten into to it pretty heavy...........right now I have about 42 trucks but only one car.................Need to order more cars but haven't made up my mind which models to stock. the other 1800 parts keeps getting bigger all the time and I'll probably die right here in this old Hobby Shop but I'll love every minute of it [)]

the villian is pretty good.it goes 17-20 mph depending on your outdrive settings.i have not had any problems and would give it a 4 for anyone looking for a fun but not extremly expensive boat that is built well.there are a good amount choices with after market products for it and the villian ex.
