Fast, fun, high tech. The best car ever. Ready to race, this is a super fast mini car that will amaze anyone.Very easy to use, good packaging.The only problem that I see is that I have no idea why are they including those ridiculous NiHM batteries. Don't waste your money and buy the Lipo at least 2000mh. You will thank me for this advice. Lipo batteries will make your car go faster than ever and you will be able to do more tricks with it for a longer period of time than with the regular NiHM batteries. And the best thing is that Lipo 2000mh cost the same as a NiHM battery. You will need just special precautions and care to use these type of batteries but just read the instructions and you should not have any problems. I will recommend also to buy a charger for Lipo and NiHM since you will have one NiHM battery that comes included with the car (although I really think that traxxas should make standard the Lipo batteries instead of the NiHM batteries. The difference on performance between this batteries is huge.) I bought the Xcelorin charger is super fast and very easy to use and works for all batteries types including of course Lipo and NiHM. You will not need any other charger. You will need a traxxas type of connection adapter though. Believe me once you drive your car with a Lipo battery you will never ever will use again the NiHM batteries.Have fun.This is an Update December/28/2010: I fried my ESC with the NiHM batteries connected in serial. I called Traxxas and they asked me to send the ESC which I did. They replaced my ESC and also checked the motor. All for free. They gave me a new ESC free. I am really happy with the customer service and all technical support from Traxxas. I will continue to buy traxxas product and I wish other companies would imitate them. Regarding the NiHM again it is not worthy not even in serial. Better the Lipo in parallel wheelies and super fast car with Lipo 3s. Just after a couple of minutes check the temperature of the motor and the ESC if it is hot (not warm) then stop running it. Also as soon as it lose power (reduce in 50% of the speed) stop the car it means that is overheated.Hope it is helpful.
