Picked up one of these on a whim a few days ago. So far I'm generally impressed - I think it has plenty of power in the stock form (still going to mod it with a spare VXL-3 setup), handles decently, and we vhaven't broken it yet despite some hits with bigger trucks. My only major gripe so far is that the steering layout is highly suspectable to getting fouled with snow/ice - there's just enough room for it to get in but not enough for it to get out, and so after a few minutes the vehicle won't turn in one direction (seems to mostly affect going left).
