I Can attest to it's decency, I am a terrible driver and have bounced it off a lot of barriers. Did bend one piece after 3 weeks of racing, but a pair of them with shipping was cheaper than the equivalent xray part from amain.
With a basic setup, and a justock 21.5 it goes fast enough, tracks well and is responsive enough to make it clear that my driving skills are the weakest link.
yes I smashed mine pretty hard couple of times too, actually just noticed my driveshaft is bent while I was installing sway bar kit. So, r3g being 108$ on alliexpres I think I will just order another kit and have all parts ready. I tried making backup parts cart on blazerc.com and after I was done, I was at 80-90$, so buying another whole car for ~20$ more seems like better idea.
