ANyone own one?

I've been reading and watching vids of them for the last couple months. Although I normally stay away from cheap rc's, I dont see them being that bad.

They have a full line of replacement parts too.

Heres a couple vids. the 2nd is of one being bashed and no breakage.

You know Lloyd I was thinking about picking on up for the kiddo for Christmas...you are correct about parts too. They hav almost everything to fix it (When) it breaks.
 
They are 4wd. I've read ALOT of things about them, guys who also have slash's say they arent bad at all. That means alot coming from someone with a slash.

I think I might pull the trigger on a couple, one for me and one for my dad for Christmas.
 
I've raced on that track in the second vid. NorCal Hobbies in Daly City, CA. Looks like the track was being worked on.

Their on-road track is pretty bad ass.

I've never seen an onroad race or track in real life. Thats crazy how fast they can go.
 
Well I pulled the trigger. Bought two of them, a bunch of spare parts too and a nice little 2.4 multi model memory radio for my dads. Guess I'll let you guys know after Christmas how they do. Be a good test in the middle of the winter for all the plastic stuff...
 
I was just going to ask about one of these. Stuff gets a bad rep when its cheap and I like to put them to the test. My redcat is my favorite rc car out of the 6 i have, all traxxas, losi, and team associated. If someone buys my sc10 before the next race I am going to pick one up.
 
I came across these videos on their site and that truck does look fun. didnt really look into it though so not sure how much it is or anything about parts but it looks like its worth it what ever the price is I'm sure its not tooo bad.
