I have been wanting one for a while. Picked it up this morning. Went off roading a little bit and ended up breaking and axle. Got two replacements and changed them. Drove it around some more a few minutes ago. I think I am going to like it. Been wanting one for a while but I don't think its going to be big enough to pull the car around.

BUT it is 4x4 and goes like stink!

Had an electric and ripped it apart...>Curbs owned me.

had a nitro one and well, tore it all to hell and back

just wait for the control arms to break next. lol It is addicting and fun. WHat does your batteries look like? I might have a charger that will help you out. Uses either dc or ac to charge it. Was great when out and about and using an automotive battery to charge them while toying around.

I will go back electric only for the less maintenance when in between sessions i.e. over 4 months

I bought a new Prophet Plus Charger for it today. Had the guy at the hobby shop make me up an adapter to hook to the deans connectors on the batteries. I got an extra set of wheels, 2 bodies and a few springs with it as well. I traded a buddy back home for it and he sent everything he could fit in the box except the charger.
