My son and I both had Evaders, so did someone else we know. They look great on paper, with a lot of features, but just break too much.
I got my son a Rustler - it's built like a tank. It's not the best performiong truck, but at least we didn't spend all our time in th epits fixing it.
Now that we are both decent drivers, we have Associated T3s and are very happy with them.
