It's a great crawler so long as you grease up the moving parts and spend around £70 extra on better electronics. I run mine with a decent receiver, Hobbywing 1080 ESC, HPI 35T motor and a Turnigy servo. Around 4 hours runtime on a 5200 2S lipo or 1.5 hours on the 2000 NiMH. Maybe find a local crawler group of Facebook and tag along with them, crawling is great and even better with friends. There are some great FB Mauler groups too.
