This is such a fun hobby to get into.

Just be warned, buying these can turn extremely expensive VERY quickly.

I've had 3 of these, 2 Redcat (Nitro), 1 Traxxas (Electric)

I saw the engine was pull start, if possible I HIGHLY recommend upgrading to an electric start system if it's possible with that engine. I had to put TRX 3.3's w/ electric starts in both my Redcats, and had to modify the chassis & body to get it to fit.

Be careful in cold weather, plastic parts snap in a instant. See if a company like RPM carries any parts, they're EXTREMELY rugged & hardly break. They're the only company I'll put on my Slash.

I typed all that assuming you're new to this hobby...when you may not me. Have fun & break it in easy! XD

Any questions, feel free to ask.

Looks nice, Personally I would put that 170 to a nxt gen console :p

I've been collecting model cars and aero planes mate acc my family own a hobby shop I think it's really fun with some challenges
