This was a total impulse buy. I saw it on the shelf for $50 on a day I was bored and figured even though I don't know about it, the Team Associated name should mean something. It doesn't. This is pretty much a toy grade item, although it does have proportional 2.4GHz control. It is 2WD with no differential which makes it a challenge to handle. The battery is not removable and is charged via a wire from the remote. It is apparently a Li-Po though. It is surprisingly fast for its tiny size. For the price, it is actually just fine. My dog loves it! The styling fits in really nicely with my SC5M.
Once I got the Charisma GT24T this thing just seemed sad so I gave it away to some kids who needed a start in RC.
