Sooner or later I will obtain one and see if how it scores! $150 sounds like a lot of money, but some of the cheapo quads are very frustrating for the newbie. It may be that $130 (street price) is a good deal......if it provides hassle-free learning and flying.
Fantastic model and you get U.S. support from Traxxas, located in TX. It was my first drone and definitely not for a beginner without some R/C experience. Too fast for in house learning, but tough. Highly recommend for outdoor learning though.
Body is indestructible. Motors are bearings are made of glass. After your free first replacement from Traxxas make sure you stock up on both. Don't but stock Traxxas open bearings though, buy shielded bearings.
