Looks very similar to the Himoto, Redcat, etc. When I first started racing I thought I would skirt the high price of these fancy pants kits, and it ended in heart ache. Low quality plastics that break if a butterfly flaps its wings in the next county, screws made out of pot metal, shocks, gears, etc are all just bad. The amount of flex and slop means you will never really be able to tune it to make consistent laps.
In the end you will end up with a hobby grade kit anyway if you want to race. Money and time is much better spend finding a quality chassis second hand rather than trying to make something like that work.
