Hi I dont do alot of reviews, but here it goes.... I bought mine used, in near mint shape. It was complete in it's original box. It ran fairly well, for about 20 minutes. The speed was ok, on the NiMh battery... In an effort to get more runtime, I decided to forgo the 7.2v NiMh 1100mah battery for a 7.4 2200mah LiPo....Now this move absolutely requires a Lipo Specific charger, hopefully one that balances each individual cell as it charges. I happen to have one for another car so this switch was not a problem. I bought a few Zippy lipo's from Hong Kong (one for this car was $12.79). The difference was staggering. The car now runs at darn near 20mph, which is what it was supposed to do with the old battery. But the real difference is runtime, even with 3 5-6 year olds taking turns they get bored, it's on the order of 60 minutes+ !!!! Overall this thing is just simply a blast, it's got speed , and now awesome runtime ( I hear the stock battery should be 2 minutes normally). The 4wd system is great, it handles well. It even runs well in short grass. It has proven to be pretty durable, though when you do break something like a bumper,control arm, or shock tower, make sure to get the RPM aftermarket part instead of a regular stock one. Another benefit of buying a car of this caliber is your going to be able to easily find parts at the hobby shop or ebay. ALOT easier than your typical Toys r Us car... Get one, your kid will love it!! Tony
