Lack of support has deterred anyone I know from it. Couldn't say one way or the other about it though

I Have seen one run and they fly great but thats about all i can say about it.
I really think its more of a driver thing then a better buggy. But from what i saw its nothing bad just bad parts support.

Its a blast! I had one and really enjoyed it. Tough as nails!! Shocks suck but they have hop ups out for it. With the .28 it flys. I believe all the plasitic is from HPI ( thats why its so tuff) I can recommend it to any one!

All I can tell you guys is looks can be deceiving. Try it out! You will not be disappointed. The fun factor goes way up when the price is so low! I beat the hell out of the one I had and dont recall breakn anything. Alot of parts are available for it. Robitronic also has "pro" upgrade parts. At $289 $125ish of that is the Axial .28. You wont find a better deal. If you want to race it a "race" buggy. If you want to play and go fast and can have fun on the track while everyone else is repairing this is the buggy for you.

I also saw it listed as RTR for $289.99 at Tower. Tower Hobbies also has all thier parts on order so that shouldnt be a problem for long. I saw it at the local Hobbytown too. Thats the one im probably gonna buy. I was looking at the OFNA Ravager too. $300 - $350 is my price range.

Are you looking to bash or race with it? I heard from someone that the Protos is freakin strong. Only bad thing is the steering servo is major crap. I have the Mantis which has the same servo I'm told, and it seems lacking in the torque and strength department.
