Pros:
Components look to be quality parts
More metal parts than a lot similar products
Electronics are all protected from rocks/skidding on pavement
Everything looks like it can be replaced (not sure availability of components)
Size (see review above)
Proportional steering
Proportional throttle
Love the speed limiter on the controller, helps with kids that like to always go full throttle
Cons (if you can call it that):
Controller feels a little light/not as sturdy as I would like...but it still feels pretty good while in use.
Changing battery requires removal of body (Most do...)
Power button is a little hidden, but can be turned on/off with body on still
Overall I think it is a great product! Car itself seems very durable, comes with extra body clips and a screwdriver, which is really nice! This is not a rock crawler. This is a fast and fun vehicle. If you are looking for a solid vehicle, something that can do some jumps, track racing, or just want to drive down the road...this is a great option!
