Don't cheap out when buying a car. If you plan on sticking with this hobby get something good that won't give you problems down the road and provide the kind of performance that won't leave you feeling the need for more. Basically what you would find with the Ultra is that the drivetrain is weak, the included electronics are garbage, the engine stinks, the pipe is crap, the handling is absolutely awful, the tires are terrible, and the quality of the plastics is brutal, but then again it is $330. If your looking for a buggy stick to these brands for sure (in no particular order); Xray, Kyosho, Mugen, and Losi. There are more of course, but those are my top 4.
