I have to chime in here.....20 plus years here in the hobby..
After buying the XXL VE now have 2 of them...
It is the exception to the RTR kyosho thing.
Its a solid car pretty much stock just needs a bit of pre run stuff.
If you are looking to an RTR buggy ARRMA makes solid stuff that will take a huge beating if also it is prepped correctly.
just my 2 cents
