It depends on what your definition of "good" is. If this is for bashing and you're looking to fit a small budget then yeah, it's not too shabby. I have the 1st gen Redcat Monsoon which is identical to the Exceed and, foir the price, it's actually very good. However, be aware that you may have issues with the wheel hub bolts shearing.

If your budget is around $300 and you're wanting a truggy you would be better off going with the Jammin ST-1, which is a better kit, better parts quality, and more widely sold so parts & hop-ups are easier to get. The reason it's relatively cheap is because the design is getting old and there are newer version from Jammin out.

I drank too much caffeine today is why.

I assumed his budget is around $300 since that's what the Exceed's go for...

If your budget is higher or if you are also looking into racing and not just bashing all of us can make better recommendations and provide better feedback.

Another possibility is to look into a used truggy. There are few for sale in the for sale/trade section of the board.

You said I may have issues with the wheel hub bolts shearing??? What is that???

(Sorry about my engish I am portuguese, and in portugal the cheapest rc car costs about 400€ that is $570 so I prefer to buy on the internet)
