I bought this as a replacement for my 15yo schumacher club10 for general mucking about in the woods with. so far had a handful of very demanding forest sessions and this thing is as tough as old boots. traction from the supplied rear tyres is superb on loose ground and it can climb >45deg muddy slopes with ease. i have fitted a higher rated motor than the supplied rs540sh (which gives pretty good performance for a cheap stock buggy) and so far the esc has not tripped out. buy with confidence. kit is very well designed and high quality materials are used throughout by the way.

Brilliant RC kit thats fun to make and not to hard. Brilliant first kit, I know this as it was my first. Lowest price for this product that I have seen anywhere and is brilliant value for what you get in the box as it includes a good ESC and motor. Shipping was quick and very cheap as it was only £6 and arrived in a couple of days.
