Positives: Tough, fast, low cost, fun, fun, fun, great choice if you're at all into RCs and if you're not... After a short period of time playing with this mini/micro 1/14 th scale buggie and you likely will be. Negative aspects: strange battery connecter interface. I clipped mine off and replaced it with a Deans, T-type connecter. This allowed me to use many brands of LiPo batterys out of the box which runs much longer, faster and in my opinion doubles the fun.
