It should be a pretty great car for what you want. It's cheap. It's tough. Most importantly, it's fun! It's got some nice upgrades available for it too. I have only used mine for drifting but I run (and drift) in some pretty rough spots. There isn't a street or parking lot in Tennessee that doesn't have small rocks, gravel, dirt and other crud ground into it and I need a car that can deal with that and not get jammed up by said rocks and gravel when the tires kick them into the chassis tub. So far so good with my TT-02D Type S.
My aluminum motor mount, shocks and CVDs should be here tomorrow. I also ordered the LaFerrari body to use with regular tires. We're gonna see just how fast she'll go on 3S very soon. I don't mind mangling a Ferrari, not that I intend to but stuff happens at 60 mph and I can get more Ferraris. Lambo bodies are a bit harder to come by these days.
