Obviously it's brand new to the market so I cannot speak to its longevity/durability yet. However, It's got all the right specs to give one confidence. With hardened metal gears all around, sealed ball bearings all around, metal shafts all around, metal outdrive cups, aluminum oil shocks, and upgraded dog bones, metal chassis. it should hold up quite well. Speaking of the shocks they are oil filled. I noticed no leakage in the packaging. Bezgar has been around a while in other markets (NA, Europe, etc) so I'm not too worried. My first time out was super fun. First thing I did was run it off the steps leading into our garage. There are 3 steps and it was well balanced in the air, landed on all 4 wheels, no bounce, and just took off. The suspension seems really nice. Had some fun doing donuts on the polished concrete garage floor, the unpolished concrete apron in front of our garage, the gravel driveway, etc. Also ran it through the grass in the yard. Seems to handle quite nicely overall. I can't wait to make some jumps, and watch the kid have a go with it.There are a couple of nice bonuses thrown in. There is an extra set of wheels with paddle tires on it. I got about 20 minutes of driving my first time out..The rear wing does not come pre-installed. You have to put that on yourself with the 2 provided screws. Easy enough. Same with the wheelie bar, though I haven't put that on. I'm not sure I will as I don't have high traction surface (gravel, dirt, grass) so it doesn't seem to need it. .Controller seems fine. It fits my average sized adult hand fine. I can't one-hand steer with it. It has steering trim. I do appreciate the inclusion of steering dual rate and throttle dual rate (they just label it as "speed"). These allow you to adjust the maximum steering throw and top speed which is a super nice feature for making this more beginner friendly. In addition to the dual rates you also get steering and throttle reverse. The transmitter was pre-bound to the receiver at the factory and trim was perfectly set out of the box.It's about 12.6 inches long, 9.1 inches wide, and a little over 4 inches tall. It's big enough to run on gravel, and through grass/leaves and stuff. Some of the smaller vehicles struggle with that.Overall, this has to be one of the best values out there, especially if you can snag it on a discount. 4x4, brushless, metal gears, shafts, shocks, extra 4 sand tires ,ball bearings, etc. etc. It's hard to beat from a value perspective.Possible downsides:only comes with one battery. That seems to be the way of the world these days. I would recommend replacing the USB charger with a "real" charger that can do balance charging, storage charging, etc. That's not a knock on this model though. That applies to virtually any charger provided by any manufacturer. You do have to provide 3 AA for the transmitter.
