How does this car look?

Hi, I'm Keith. I'm 15 from Edinburgh.

Ok, here is what is happening. Birthday is in under a month and I'm looking to move from my fast electric car upto a nitro truck.

I've found this and it seems like a great deal, what do you think?

Anyone?

i never heard of HSP. looks like a cheap chinese toy to me, just my 2 cents

 

[Keithoms]

Well, I've found a non ebay webshop selling the truck a bit cheaper and they also have every spare part for the truck imaginable in stock. I dont think you can really get a reputable nitro for <120?

 

[sandiegan]

no you can't get a reputable one for that price. but then again, when parts start breaking, good luck cause you're gonna be ordering replacements straight from china


personally id save the $$ and buy a better one, it will be less headache and more fun in the long run

but its up to you, thats dirt cheap and it might make a good thrasher

They dont hold up very well
part quality is poor
