Ordered 4 shocks but will have to wait 1 month. For a grown-up noob the blackzone stock is already an awesome truck but oil shocks will stop it bouncing. Made undreds of jumps in the living room, drove it in rough terrain with rocks and dirt. Also tall grass and moist leaves. Climbs dirt ramps with more than 45 degrees. Learn everything I could how to clean it with no water and as a home made motorbike Mechanics there is no rebuild task I can't make on the little truck. My local hob ie shop has spares for everything and that was the reason I bought this model (also under 90eur). I think is an excellent rc truck and throttle limitation on the remote is amazing for those with less skills or when using it indoors. Metal axles probably will make it slower eve. Though tougher for sure
