If it's going to be a beginner car, I wouldn't recommend it. If you're looking to learn how it works, were things go if they fall off, etc, get the Savage X SS.
I bought a tmaxx .15 for $50 bucks from a guy and I just added the TRX 3.3 to it this is my first truck and I am going to learn how things work and learn everything I can with it and them look into buying something new.
