I'm noticing that. Parts are slim and will only get worst. I've been playing with Nitro Boats for a couple years and picked up this Mayhem a couple weeks ago and thoroughly enjoy this more over the boats especially since there's a nice local track. It's has a OS .21vspec. I may come out better finding a newer buggy. I paid $250 for this one along with the motor & starter box. I'd rather not buy a brand new buggy if a newer buggy is what I need. Any suggestion?
I'm not racing at the moment but will sooner or later after more practice. I'm using the the Mayhem as a starter. It runs great but has a bent chassis.
