    Pretty good deal for the money but it seems to be lacking in just about everything but the chassis durability. Some nice beefy parts there. With all that chassis slapping, it definitely needs a suspension upgrade. I also think it may need an electronics upgrade in the future so you can see just how durable the chassis is! This thing deserves to go fast! It would be cool to get it to comparable performance of the HBX 16889A Pro and see if you can do it for less $$ (including a servo upgrade). Thanks for the video as always Phil!

    3:35 "grease in there" now that's an interesting idea. Instead of oil in the shocks to mitigate the springs, just a glob of thick grease. Think about it: the viscosity of the shaft pushing through the grease would provide enough resistance AND it's so thick it wouldn't tend to leak out like oil. Maybe take one of your friction dampers (tamiya) and put a glob of vaseline or ? inside.....hmmm I might try that with one of my minicrawlers......
