Pros:

1: Heavily built which means for the most part it can take a real beating
2: it has a lot of aluminum so it can take a real beating
3: it comes with tires

Cons:

1: Its really heavy which means it isnt race worthy in comparison
2: parts are getting harder to find
3: it steers like a gumby dump truck
4: it isnt pretty to look at
5: you have to change all the electronics in it to make it reasonable to drive
6: its clumsy
7: it can accelerate hard but its a guess if it will hold a straight line

Basically when they developed the truck they did not have anything as a base so they tossed some stuff together to call it a truggy. On the other hand it is tough and if your looking for a good bashing truck then its great but if you have any other intentions i would seriously consider ANY other truggy.
