Not at all. their electronics are terrible and their nitros aren't that good. Its a little hard to get parts too because no local hobby shops carry any of their products.
Buy something you'll be able to find parts for or you wont want to stay with the hobby. Traxxas, Losi, Associated, Duratrax, etc.. are all good brands that have easy parts availability online and at your LHS. What type of car are you looking for?
well IMO dont start off with a cheap car cause its low on price and looks cool because if you have problems with it, your gonna get mad at it and nt want to be in the hobby anymore IMO but spend the extra couple bucks and get a good name brand.. What are you into though so we can direct you to a good truck to get so you have a good first experience like I did with my first truck!!!
