Now first thing's first . These are my Initial thoughts. from staring at it and driving it a little
The bad .  
- 3 of the 4 shocks had leaked out almost all their oil before I received it .
 - The included battery was almost useless .
 - 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.
 - Since they picked the wrong motor there claim of 30mph is unlikly even with a different battery .
 - One of my front tire's has a serious defect
 - bushings .
 - spur gear and pinion cover is a chore to remove
 
The annoying
- Why does every body use brass pinions
 - The tires are really out of balance
 - screws are soft and you must use the right screw driver or risk damaging them
 - steering has more slop then I would like for a new truck
 - thread lock on the pinion set screw
 - ESC looks cobbled together and unfinished
 
The good 
- 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
 - big bore shocks
 - The plastic motor mount has a aluminum brace
 - tire compound is pretty good for a rtr the stiff foams hold them back though
 - The slipper clutch design will allow other brands spur gears to be used
 - front has aluminum hinge pin brace
 - battery compartment is easily expandable but will onlyfit a 6 cell NIMH stick pack or 7 cell hump pack
 - uses standard 12mm hex's
