Don't even think of whasting money on a Fireblade, they can't jump, and when they land the expensive graphite chassis breaks from the weak design. Plus the bearings love eating dirt because they're not sealed, and this is the only buggy I've had that gets dirt in the gearbox, the outdrives are weak as hell too, the front wheels are skinny, and the hubs have a ton of slop, you want parts and nobody sells them. Get a Losi or the B4, I threw away $220 on the Fireblade EVO. Why did they get rid of the Cougar!!

That TT01 costs less than $100, its the perfect car for tooling or bashing around a parking lot, but not much more, but it stands up pretty good to crashes.
