I know parts wont be as easy to find but I wont be nowhere as hard one mine if I get one.
Brushless and come with 2 lipos for around $375
Heres one that seems to hold its own well against a traxxis that was converted brushless

Seems decent for the money. I know its no traxxis but if I go with a traxxis I will have to go with a smaller scale 2wd brushed.

What do you think? Is all the exceed hate from personal experience or just word of mouth?
