Honestly i don`t think bigtaco is exaggerating at all.
I also had the 733 for one race and promptly sold it after that, the plastic parts on the serpent are nowhere near as durable as the kyosho and the nt1. Sorry if i offended anyone but that`s just my feelings about the 733, great car just pretty fragile. Now let me tell you something else, i have had no experience with the new harder more durable parts so i can`t tell you anything about those.
