I have 2 electric versions. I thought the nitro version had been discontinued. I'd be hesitant till after the new year with Hpi. RipMax is still digging out of the whole the previous owners left. And while RipMax did recently ship out a very large parts order.
With no aftermarket tires that truly fit the vehicle. Hpi is only source. And I know there have been very long delays in tires being available.
It's a very good vehicle. It's small by 1/8 standard. And it's size does limit where it can run.
