Now first thing's first . These are my Initial thoughts. from staring at it and driving it a little

The bad .  
  1. 3 of the 4 shocks had leaked out almost all their oil before I received it .
  2. The included battery was almost useless .
  3. The stock motor not really practical for the application it's a 540 motor but it has a fan installed in a manner that makes the winding's  shorter lowering the torque the motor will produce when compared to a normal 540 motor used in R.C.  
  4. Since they picked the wrong motor there claim of 30mph is unlikly even with a different battery .
  5. One of my front tire's has a serious defect
  6. bushings .
  7. spur gear and pinion cover is a chore to remove


The annoying
  1. Why does every body use brass pinions 
  2. The tires are really out of balance 
  3. screws are soft and you must use the right screw driver or risk damaging them 
  4. steering has more slop then I would like for a new truck
  5. thread lock on the pinion set screw
  6. ESC looks cobbled together and unfinished
The good 
  1. ESC is rated at 300 amp's (it's what the manual say's) if that's true you can upgrade to a good brushed motor
  2. big bore shocks
  3. The plastic motor mount has a aluminum brace
  4. tire compound is pretty good for a rtr the stiff foams hold them back though
  5. The slipper clutch design will allow other brands spur gears to be used
  6. front has aluminum hinge pin brace
  7. battery compartment is easily expandable but will onlyfit a 6 cell NIMH stick pack or 7 cell hump pack
  8. uses standard 12mm hex's 

More to follow check back soon.
