I'm happy with my Stadium truck and can say the hobby is super fun but not without alot of fustration. My new truck was issue free for the first .5 gal of gas. Now it seems like something breaks on every run. You need a BIG portable tool box loaded with spares. I have broken 3 rear suspension arms, all the left side. Of course the replacements come in a pack of two, one for each side, at $18.00. Just waiting to break the right side arm cause I'm all set there
Of course most of the failures are my fault (bad driving, jumping, etc...) however you reach a point where stuff just wears out. Would love to start league racing with my son but I'll probably start him with electric vs. nitro.
